KATHMANDU: The ruling CPN-UML is holding a meeting of the Parliamentary Party (PP) Thursday.
The meeting to be held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar at 11 am will discuss the ongoing dispute in the ruling party, a leader said.
Chief Whip Bishal Bhattarai said all lawmakers of the party including the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction have already been notified about the meeting.
Meanwhile, the Madhav Kumar Nepal faction has said it would not participate in the meeting convened by Prime Minister KP Oli.
The faction, which is holding a national conclave in Sanepa, said it would not be able to attend the meeting because of its pre-scheduled engagement.
The PP meeting has been called at a time when the disgruntled faction is holding a two-day national conclave from Wednesday.
The faction had earlier decided to hold the gathering against what they said “KP Oli’s arbitrary” attitude in running the party.
Likewise, the central committee of the faction is scheduled to submit a concept paper on the current interparty dispute and its possible ways out in the gathering.
