Kathmandu, May 24: The scheduled meeting of the Legislature-Parliament was postponed without entering the regular business today due to the major political parties’ failure to forge a consensus.
The next meeting of the House is scheduled to be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday.
Speaker Onsari Ghartimagar’s repeated efforts to forge consensus among the major political parties to begin the House meeting failed to yield any result as the leaders did not budge from their respective stance.
Speaker Gharti facilitated the meeting between Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN (UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli but the meeting ended inconclusively due to stance of the UML, leaders told after the meeting.
The UML has demanded that the government come back from its Monday’s decision to increase the number of local level units in the Tarai districts.
However, the government has said that the number of the local level units was increased with its aim to bring the agitating Madhes-centric parties on board the polls.
Prime Minister Prachanda was scheduled to make his special address to the House and announce his resignation on Tuesday.
Nepali Congress Whip Chinkaji Shrestha said that UML’s act was unconstitutional and against the spirit of democratic norms and values.
However, the parties have agreed to sit for a meeting at 9:00 am tomorrow to sort out the disputes.
Likewise, Minister for Foreign Affairs and NC leader Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat said that the government is being changed in a natural process as per the agreement between the NC and Maoist Centre.
But, UML’s Chief Whip Bhanubhakta Dhakal said that his party protested against the government decision to increase the number of the local level units. RSS
