A meeting between Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli is underway at Baluwatar. The meeting started at 9: 45 am on Wednesday. According to a Baluwatar source, the two senior leaders are dwelling on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (third amendment) Bill, 2079 presented in the Parliament, Citizenship Bill and upcoming parliamentary and provincial elections.

Law Minister Govinda Bandi had tabled the Bill on transitional justice on Tuesday.

The main opposition CPN-UML has been staging the protests after the government endorsed the Citizenship Bill, which was sent back to the Parliament by President Bidya Devi Bhandari for reconsideration, without any changes. The government has decided to hold the federal and provincial elections on November 20. The UML leaders have been expressing their dissatisfaction saying the Deuba government took some decisions unilaterally without consulting the main opposition party in recent time.
