KATHMANDU: Chief Whip of the CPN UML, Mahesh Bartaula, has said government was committed to the enforcement of two-point agreement signed between the ruling and opposition parties on visit visa scam.

During the ongoing meeting of the House of Representatives which is deliberating on various ministries under the Appropriation Bill, 2082 today, UML Chief Whip informed a mechanism will be formed within few days in relation to the two-point agreement.

He reiterated, “Government is firm in the agreement made with the opposition party. So, we don’t wait for a month. A mechanism will be in place within five days. Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak himself will announce from the parliament on it.”
