Congress President Deuba, CPN (US) Chair Nepal hold serious talks for almost two hours

Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Nepal held a meeting on Tuesday.

According to a source, they held a serious discussion for almost two hours.

Leader Nepal had reached Dhumbarahi to meet Congress President Deuba after the Supreme Court issued a directive in the name of government to also bring decision makers in the Lalita Niwas land grab case under investigation.

Congress Vice-President Purna Bahadur Khadka and Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak were also present in the meeting.

Chairman Nepal also expressed his dissatisfaction over the working style of the government with Deuba.

Saying that the Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government has been targeting the leaders of the coalition, a source said that Nepal expressed his displeasure with Congress President Deuba.

He accused the CPN (Maoist Center) of operating the government unilaterally.

Former prime minister Nepal said that lawmaker Sunil Sharma was arrested just for asking the resignation of Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha and the government to arrest Congress leader Bal Krishna Khand in the Bhutanese refugee case.

He said that the investigation into the Gaur massacre and others are serious issues.

Nepal demanded that a serious discussion should be held among the ruling coalition partners on the issue.

The meeting ruling coalition held on Monday evening was also focused on the same issue.

A source said that Prime Minister Dahal had also called Attorney General Dinmani Pokharel to the meeting to take suggestions regarding the order of the Supreme  Court.

The Janata Samajbadi Party had expressed its dissatisfaction in the meeting.

After the party strongly criticized the government, Prime Minister Dahal, who is also the Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Center) had expressed his commitment not to proceed with the investigation into the Gaur massacre.
