As the opposition Nepali Congress (NC) continued obstructing the House business, the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting was postponed on Thursday.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire postponed the meeting until 11:00 am on Friday after the HoR members of the NC encircled the rostrum of parliament.
In the meeting, Speaker Ghimire had given time to Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane to speak in parliament but the parliamentary business could not proceed following the NC’s protests.
The opposition NC has been obstructing the House business for long putting its demand for the formation of a parliamentary committee for a fair probe into the alleged involvement of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane on misappropriation of cooperative organizations’ funds.
HOR meeting adjourned till Friday
The meeting of the House of Representatives HOR has been adjourned following the disruption of the main opposition party CPN (UML).
The meeting, which started at 1 pm on Wednesday, was interrupted by UML MPs. UML parliamentarians blocked the meeting demanding a high-level inquiry committee into the gold smuggling case.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire asked for assistance to advance the agenda of the Parliament. But after the UML continued the obstruction, Speaker Ghimire adjourned till Friday.
