Home Minister Sudan Gurung has instructed lawmakers from the ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) to keep internal party disagreements out of Parliament. Gurung warned that airing grievances publicly would only empower the opposition. He urged MPs to support the government's initiatives and refrain from criticizing its work.

During a meeting of the RSP parliamentary party, Gurung also advised members to channel any complaints concerning the Home Ministry through his personal secretary, James Karki, rather than approaching him directly. He provided Karki's phone number to the lawmakers.

Let’s keep our internal disputes within the party and not oppose the government in Parliament. The opposition is starting to grow stronger.

If you have any complaints related to the Home Ministry, don’t bring them to me. Speak to my personal secretary James Karki and meet with him.
