KATHMANDU: Top leaders of major two political parties are holding a meeting at Baluwatar in a bid to address the long-stalled transitional justice on Friday.
According to Baluwatar sources, Nepal Communist Party chairmen KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and President of main opposition Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba are holding talks to this effect.
The transitional justice is likely to gain momentum as the recommendation committee is ready to recommend officials for the two commissions – the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP).
These two bodies, which had been formed in 2015 to address transitional justice, had been lying defunct for years due to political interference.
Over 16,000 people were killed and about 1,400 disappeared during the civil war fought between the Nepal Army and the Maoists.
