KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chair Rabi Lamichhane has begun discussions with lawmakers from Koshi and Madhesh provinces over the country’s latest developments and the escalating security situation.
According to Abinash Acharya, a member of Lamichhane’s secretariat, the RSP chair is currently holding discussions with the provincial MPs.
Tensions have continued for five days since clashes broke out between two groups in Sunsari on Sunday. Similar clashes have also been reported in various districts of Koshi and Madhesh provinces. Three people have so far died in clashes between police and protesters in different parts of the country.
A person was also killed in Siraha shortly before the latest discussions after being shot by police.
While Prime Minister Balen Shah has yet to engage directly in broader discussions and dialogue over the escalating situation, Lamichhane has been holding consultations with various individuals and stakeholders.
