He also defended the dissolution of the parliament by the government led by him last year.

Oli, who is also a former Prime Minister, said the House of Representatives was dissolved to save the then ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP).

He said that the parliament was dissolved after noticing a conspiracy to capture the party.

UML chair Oli also specified that the parliament was dissolved after Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and Madhav Kumar Nepal tried to capture the then NCP.

He further added that there was no need for leftist unity.

The meeting will conclude today, according to UML leader Bishnu Rijal.
