The second meeting of the senior leaders of three major political parties along with the Speaker held in Baneshwor also ended inconclusively.

The meeting was held at the initiative of Speaker Devraj Ghimire.

The talks ended without making a concrete decision after the leaders of ruling and opposition parties refused to budge from their stances.

A serious discussion was held to resume the House proceedings.

Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Speaker Ghimire said that though a serious discussion was held, ruling and opposition leaders failed to reach a conclusion.

He said that the next meeting has been called for 10 am on Tuesday.

“Hopefully, the parties will reach consensus prior to the meeting called for 3 pm tomorrow,” he said.

Speaker Ghimire said that there is no alternative to agreement.

The main opposition CPN-UML has been obstructing the Parliament proceedings demanding formation of a high-level probe committee to investigate the latest gold smuggling case.
