KATHMANDU: An all-party meeting is underway at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar.
Prime Minister KP Oli had called for an all-party meeting to discuss various issues, including the growing protests by pro-monarchy forces across the country.
The meeting has started, according to Prime Minister’s Press Advisor Surya Thapa.
Meanwhile, a cabinet meeting was held earlier today to discuss the agenda of the all-party meeting.
There is a practice of holding an all-party meeting in case of any odd situation in the country, or in a situation when the government thinks of seeking consensus of all political parties on serious issues.
The decisions taken by the all-party meeting are often meant to ensure national unity on issues of national concerns.
This is the first of such meeting hosted by the Prime Minister in the past seven months.
Earlier in May, PM Oli had consulted major political parties before issuing the country’s new political map.
