According to the member of PASAN EXCO, members of the group have decided to shut down activities of the National Assembly until their needs are met.
He said, “The two chapters, National Assembly Commission and the National Assembly chapter have unanimously agreed that we will are going on an indefinite strike because we have a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU that was signed but the management has refused to implement the agreement.
