On August 7, 2026, the House of Representatives was marked by continued protests from opposition lawmakers concerning Prime Minister Balen Shah's remarks on Nepal-India border encroachment, made on May 31, 2026. Opposition parties, including Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Nepal Communist Party, Labour Culture Party, and Rastriya Prajatantra Party, called the Prime Minister's earlier statement "anti-national" and detrimental to Nepal's sovereignty.
Lawmakers Kripa Ram Rana (CPN-UML) and Khushbu Oli (RPP) specifically demanded the statement's removal from parliamentary records and urged the Prime Minister to correct his mistake. Yubaraj Dulal (Nepali Communist Party) called for a Speaker's ruling to ensure the Prime Minister's participation in a question-and-answer session on the matter. Meanwhile, MP Surendra Chaudhary of the ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) questioned the opposition's motives for their ongoing protests.
