CPN-UML Chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli suspended senior leaders Madhav Kumar Nepal and Bhim Bahadur Rawal from the party for the next six months.
It has been learnt that the party chair Oli suspended them after the clarifications submitted by them were not satisfactory.
The CPN-UML on March 22 sought clarification from four of its leaders — Madhav Kumar Nepal, Bhim Rawal, Ghanashayam Bhusal and Surendra Prasad Pandey. The leaders were accused of working against the party. Bhusal and Pandey have not responded to the clarification yet.
The Supreme Court on March 7 ordered to restore the CPN-UML and the CPN Maoist Centre. Both the parties had unified to form Nepal Communist Party (NCP).
The rift within the NCP widened as the faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal prepared to remove party chair Oli. On the other hand, the then NCP chair was dissatisfied with the dissident faction saying that they (Dahal-Nepal faction) had been preventing the government to work in a full-fledged manner.
It has also been reported that suspended leader Nepal today met with CPN Maoist chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal to hold discussions regarding the removal of support to the government
