Lawmakers of various political parties on Tuesday criticised the government for failing to resolve problems facing the country.

Speaking during zero and special hours of today’s Parliament meeting, the lawmakers said the government was making hollow commitments and promises but not implementing them.

Nepali Congress lawmaker Nabindra Raj Joshi said the government had failed to win the trust of neighboring countries due to its defective foreign policy. “The government has neither been able to open the Tatopani trade route nor improve its relations with India,” he said, adding that the government’s foreign policy had failed.
