Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba along with his office bearers have reached Sheetal Niwas to discuss the Citizenship Bill. Earlier, President Bhandari had returned the Citizenship Bill to the Parliament with a 15-point message for reconsideration. But, the House of Representatives endorsed the bill without any change.

The bill is in the National Assembly.

On Sunday, the upper house sent the bill to the Legislation Management Committee of the Parliament for clause-wise discussion. The ruling coalition is in favor of endorsing the bill at the earliest while the main opposition CPN-UML is against the same. Of late, President Bhandari has intensified discussions after knowing that the bill would come to her for certification without any change.
