KATHMANDU, Aug 6: Ajay Kumar Chaurasiya, the minister for law, justice and parliamentary affairs, has urged lawmakers to hold discussions on the transitional justice (TJ) bill to be presented in the next parliament meeting. In the meeting of the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee held in Singha Durbar on Tuesday, Minister Chaurasiya urged the lawmakers to move forward with the presentation of the TJ bill in the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting on August 13.
He said that as the house lacks business, the discussion on the TJ bill and the Bill to amend some Nepal Acts should be concluded. He also said that he would be serious about seeking a consensus on the bill related to the amendment to some Nepal Acts.
