The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) on May 15 demanded that the Government withdraw from Parliament three bills that contradicted the constitution, reports The Himalayan Times. The NC also threatened to mobilise its power both in the Parliament and outside if the Government tried to pass the Media Council Bill, National Human Rights Commission Bill and National Security Bill without amendment. A meeting of the NC parliamentary party held at Singha Durbar in Kathmandu concluded that the three bills, if enacted as laws, would curtail the freedom of expression and freedom of press, undermine human rights, weaken civil rights and render National Security Council and Nepali Army ineffective.
