The Parliamentary Party meeting of the Nepali Congress scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed for Tuesday morning.

Congress Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak said that they will continue the discussions within the party on contemporary political issues today and the Parliamentary Party meeting will be held at 8 am tomorrow.

According to him, they will have an intense discussion in the meeting to be held on Tuesday morning and decide on how to present themselves in the next meeting of the Parliament.

The Congress has been obstructing the meetings of both the Houses of federal Parliament–House of Representatives and National Assembly–demanding the formation of a parliamentary probe committee to investigate fraud charges against Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.

The main opposition Nepali Congress obstructed even the first meeting of the budget session held on Friday demanding the formation of a parliamentary committee.

The party has been saying that it would not allow the House of function until the parliamentary committee is formed to investigate Lamichhane’s alleged involvement in misusing the cooperative funds.

Amid sloganeering by the Congress lawmakers, Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire postponed the Parliament meeting till Tuesday.
