KATHMANDU: Main opposition Nepali Congress has sought government’s official stance on Venezuela crisis.

Speaking at the special hour of the parliament today, Nepali Congress lawmakers Dila Sangraula and Bhimsen Das Pradhan sought government’s official stance referring to the divergent views coming from Prime Minister K P Oli and Nepal Communist Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on the Venezuela’s political crisis.

Seeking Prime Minister’s clarification, lawmaker Pradhan queried, “What is the official view? Whom should we trust – the Prime Minister or NCP Chairman Dahal?”

The Venezuela issue got into the agenda for discussion in the parliament at a time when the two contradictory views on Venezuela crisis expressed separately by Prime Minister Oli and Dahal triggered waves on the political spectrum.

Prime Minister Oli has earlier labeled Dahal’s statement as ‘a slip of tongue’ while Dahal asserted his to be the official stance of his party.
