KATHMANDU: A meeting between ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister KP Oli scheduled for today to discuss the report submitted by the party’s task force has been postponed citing busy schedule of the Prime Minister.
They were supposed to discussing the report submitted by the task force on Monday.
A party source said that PM Oli and Dahal will meet on Tuesday. They are also likely to convene a meeting of the party Secretariat after discussing the report.
Dahal and Oli had earlier decided to initiate discussion at the prime minister’s official residence in Baluwatar as per the recommendation of the six-member task force.
It may be noted that the task force led by NCP General Secretary Bishnu Poudel had last week submitted a report to Dahal and Oli to narrow down the differences by convening the Standing Committee meeting as soon as possible.
Likewise, the task force has also suggested the leadership to hold a meeting of the party’s central committee to thrash out differences.
The task force has suggested the party leadership that while Dahal looked after the party, Oli would lead the government, among others.
The task force has also even suggested the leadership on cabinet reshuffle, replacing some Chief Ministers, and holding a general convention from April 7 to 12 next year to resolve ideological issues.
The task force has also suggested that the issue of PM Oli’s resignation will not be on the agenda of the Standing Committee meeting, which has been postponed from July 2.
The members in the task force including NCP leaders Bhim Rawal, Shankar Pokharel, Janardan Sharma, Surendra Pandey and Pampha Bhusal.
