The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) will not be tabled in the meeting of the House of Representatives today.

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal held a meeting this morning and agreed not to table the MCC in the Parliament today.

Soon after the Parliamentary Party meeting, Dahal reached Baluwatar to inform Prime Minister Deuba that the party had decided not to table the MCC without forging national consensus.

The duo had agreed to hold a meeting of the alliance at 3 pm tomorrow in an attempt to forge consensus on the MCC.

The Maoist Centre warned that the coalition will break down if the MCC is tabled forcefully in the Parliament.

“The coalition will fall apart if the government tables the MCC without the decision of the alliance. The government will also break down if the coalition falls apart,” Party Chief Whip Dev Gurung said.

The Parliament meeting has been scheduled for 1 pm today.
