KATHMANDU: Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Dev Raj Ghimire is set to hold talks with key leaders of political parties amid the ongoing parliamentary impasse.

Speaker Ghimire is scheduled to discuss ending the deadlock with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba, and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli at 2 PM this afternoon.

The Nepali Congress has been demanding a parliamentary committee to investigate allegations of cooperative fraud involving Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.

Due to the ruling alliance’s reluctance to form the probe committee, the NC has been obstructing meetings of both the lower and upper houses of parliament.

On Thursday, a scuffle broke out between lawmakers of the NC and CPN-UML following a heated exchange between the UML Chair and the Vice President of the NC during a parliamentary session.

Speaker Ghimire’s initiative aims to build political consensus and resolve the ongoing parliamentary deadlock.
