HoR meeting underway

KATHMANDU: A meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) is underway at the Federal Parliament building, New Baneswor.

Prime Minister (PM) KP Oli is set to address the House of Representatives today.

It should be noted that Sunday’s meeting was adjourned due to disruption from Maoist Center lawmakers.

The Maoist Center obstructed the parliamentary meeting after CPN-UML MP Yogesh Bhattarai referred to the Maoist armed struggle as ‘violence,’ prompting protests from Maoist lawmakers.

Consequently, the session could not proceed.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire held discussions with opposition Maoist Center leaders, including Hitraj Pandey, about facilitating a smooth parliamentary session.

Following today’s session, the Parliament session will end.

On Sunday evening, the Council of Ministers recommended to the President that the annual session be ended.

The session will officially conclude once the President’s Office issues the formal notification.

Additionally, Surya Thapa, Chairman of the Parliamentary Special Committee on Misuse of Cooperative Savings, is scheduled to present investigation report.
