Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba held a meeting with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Thursday. Deuba had reached Baluwatar to meet Prime Minister Dahal prior to the party’s office bearers meeting. Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Purna Bahadur Khadka and Minister for Foreign Affairs NP Saud were present in the meeting.

It has been learnt that they discussed the issue of fake Bhutanese refugee scam in the meeting.

The office bearers meeting was called after Congress leader and former home minister Bal Krishna Khand was arrested in connection with the fake Bhutanese refugee scam. The office bearers meeting was also held on Wednesday. The meeting discussed whether to suspend central member Khanda from the party’s post or not. But the meeting ended without making a decision. The meeting to be held today will take the decision on the same issue. Former office bearers are also called to attend the meeting today.
