KATHMANDU: Addressing the party’s parliamentary meeting held today at the federal parliament building premises, CPN (UML) chair KP Sharma Oli reaffirmed his party’s commitment to maintaining decent parliamentary practices amidst ongoing protests by the main opposition Nepali Congress.

Chairperson Oli emphasized the importance of evidence-based accusations in parliamentary proceedings, stating that unfounded allegations should not warrant the formation of parliamentary committees.

He also expressed efforts to unite political parties after assessing the current situation.
