Cadres of various political parties staged a demonstration against the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in New Baneshwor on Wednesday.

Police used a water cannon to disperse the crowd from the area.

The government was planning to table the MCC in the Parliament today but Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal had a meeting this afternoon and decided not to table the compact in the meeting of the House of Representatives.

Prime Minister Deuba has called a meeting of the coalition for 3 pm tomorrow to hold the decisive discussion on the MCC.
