The second meeting of the House of the Representatives (HoR) on Friday also remained obstructed due to the protest from the major opposition Nepali Congress (NC).

Earlier, the first meeting was announced to be postponed for 15 minutes owing to the obstructions of the NC and Loktantrik Samajbadi Party.

Once the second meeting began, the NC lawmakers picketed the rostrum, reiterating the demand of the formation of a parliamentary committee to probe the misappropriation of the cooperative funds.

As Speaker Devraj Ghimire allotted time to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, Rabi Lamichhane, who is accused of having a role in the embezzlement of cooperative funds, to put forth his views, he was prevented by the opposition parties.

Though the Speaker urged the protesting members to have their respective seats and listen to DPM Lamichhane, the opposition parties denied the Speaker's call, prompting him to announce the adjournment of the meeting.

The HoR next meeting has been scheduled for 6:00 pm coming May 14.
