KATHMANDU: In a bid to narrow down the intra-party row, disgruntled leaders of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) have held separate meeting with Prime Minister KP Oli.

Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, senior leaders Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhalanath Khanal, Vice Chairman Bam Dev Gautam and General Secretary Bishnu Poudel have held a meeting in an effort to end the disputes.

Meanwhile, it is learned that the leaders are trying to create an environment to hold a separate one-on-one meeting between Prime Minister KP Oli and Dahal.

The senior leaders held a meeting at a time when other leaders are attending the party’s Standing Committee meeting at the Prime Minister’s official residence, Baluwatar.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Oli held consultation with President Bidhya Devi Bhandari on contemporary issues.
