Citing Article 154(3), he emphasized that Parliament’s committees require a duly appointed Auditor-General to conduct pending 2025 audits, and urged the Speaker to ensure an independent nominee is appointed rather than one intended to protect the Government.

He called for a clear plan for the intensifying monsoon, safe shelter and supplies for affected people without partisan distribution, higher and faster relief payments than Rs. 25,000, and warned against using emergency regulations to suppress media reporting.
