E-Kantipur

KATHMANDU, JUN 01 - Constituent Assembly (CA) member of Dalit Janajati Party, Biswendra Paswan, Tuesday returned the allowance he drew during the two years period in his capacity as a CA member, setting an example for other leaders to follow.

Paswan returned Rs. 120,700 via Everest Bank on Tuesday citing the failure of the CA to live up to its mandate of drafting the new constitution.

Paswan submitted the bank draft to the Parliamentarian Secretariat as CA Chairman Subash Chandra Nemwang asked him to contact the secretariat saying that he cannot receive the voucher. Paswan, the only CA member from his party, had announced to return the amount before May 28.

“It is unethical on the part of lawmakers to enjoy the perks and services that came out of the public revenue as new statute could not be drafted,” said Paswan talking to ekantipur.
