NC holding parliamentary party and parliamentary party working committee meetings today

KATHMANDU: The Nepali Congress (NC) is holding meetings of the Parliamentary Party and the Parliamentary Party Working Committee today.

It should be noted that the meetings earlier scheduled for Monday were deferred to Tuesday.

NC Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak said that the meetings will be held this morning.

He said that the meetings called for Monday to discuss the latest political developments and contemporary issues, including the formation of a parliamentary investigation committee on the embezzlements of the cooperatives’ funds, was deferred for additional preparations.

He said that the NC postponed the meetings for Tuesday thinking it would be appropriate to devise the required strategy discussing the matter on the basis of how the developments on the topic play out throughout Monday.

NC has been taking a stance of not allowing the parliament proceedings to move ahead until the parliamentary probe committee is constituted to look into the cooperatives fraud scam.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ had held talks with the NC leaders regarding removing the obstruction in parliament.
