KATHMANDU: A meeting held with the Nepali Congress, the main opposition party, to end the parliamentary deadlock has ended on a positive note, according to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s secretariat.
The Prime Minister’s secretariat reported that PM Dahal met with key leaders of the Nepali Congress, including President Sher Bahadur Deuba, Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka, General Secretary Gagan Thapa, and Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak, in an effort to build political consensus and end the parliamentary impasse on Saturday.
“The meeting focused mainly on ending the parliamentary deadlock. The discussion was positive,” said the secretariat.
PM Dahal is scheduled to call a meeting of the ruling alliance and will sit with the Nepali Congress once again later.
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.
