A meeting of the National Assembly has been postponed till Friday. National Assembly Chairman Ganesh Prasad Timilsina postponed the meeting till 12: 29 pm tomorrow following the obstruction from the main opposition CPN-UML. The UML lawmakers have been obstructing the meeting of the House of Representatives and National Assembly since Wednesday demanding resignation of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal over his remarks.

Soon after the commencement of the meeting, the UML lawmakers demanded resignation of Prime Minister Dahal for the second day on Thursday also.

UML lawmaker Bhairav Sundar Shrestha said that the Prime Minister’s remarks undermined the prestige and dignity of the country. During a function to launch a book on Monday, Prime Minister Dahal had said that Pritam Singh visited New Delhi several times to make him the prime minister. “His statement is condemnable,” Shrestha said. He said that the Prime Minister, who works at the behest of India, is not acceptable.
