The meeting, scheduled to include the Prime Minister among its attendees, will take place at Speaker Ghimire’s office in Singhadurbar at 2 pm today.

As per the Speaker’s Secretariat, invitations have been extended to the top leaders of the Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Center, and Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) for this gathering.

The primary opposition party, NC, has insisted on the establishment of a parliamentary probe committee, citing allegations of Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane’s involvement in a cooperative scam.

NC has issued a warning that failure to establish a parliamentary committee to investigate the cooperative case will result in disruptions during parliament sessions starting from Tuesday.
