Harka Sampang rejects ‘cyber army’ allegation, asks remark to be removed from record
A verbal dispute broke out in Parliament after Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker Indira Rana Magar accused Shram Sanskriti Party Chairman Harka Sampang of operating a “cyber army” that allegedly targeted and harassed her. Responding to the allegation, Sampang rejected the claim and said he did not have any such group. He said he was an ordinary lawmaker like Rana and that his responsibility in Parliament was to raise issues and concerns brought forward by the public. Sampang said lawmakers should not become involved in confrontations with members of the public over statements or activities outside Parliament. Instead, he argued, elected representatives should bring public concerns and grievances to the House for discussion.
