KATHMANDU: Barsha Man Pun, a member of the House of Representatives (HoR) from the Nepali Communist Party (NCP), has announced that the party will take a position of opposition by maintaining a critical stance in parliament.

Speaking during today’s first session of the HoR, he affirmed the party’s commitment to providing constructive support to the government on matters concerning the nation and its people. “We are ready to support initiatives related to nation-building, social justice, transformation, and other issues in the public interest,” he said, adding that the party will collaborate with the government to further strengthen the republic, democracy, federalism, inclusion, and other political achievements.

Emphasizing the party’s belief in democratic conduct and systems, he stressed that the new government should pay attention to addressing issues raised by the youth. Recalling that the then CPN (Maoist) secured public mandate in the 2008 elections, the CPN (UML) in the 2022 elections, and the RSP has gained similar voter trust this time, he urged the RSP to chart its future course while learning from the shortcomings of other political parties
