Parliament meeting postponed

The Parliament meeting scheduled for today has been postponed without entering its business due to the obstruction from the main opposition Nepali Congress.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire postponed the meeting for 11 am on Sunday following obstruction from the Congress, the Parliament Secretariat informed.

The NC has long been obstructing the parliamentary proceedings, alleging the involvement of Deputy Prime Minister Lamichhane in the fraud and demanding the formation of a parliamentary committee to ensure a fair investigation into the case whereas the CPN-UML and RSP in particular have made it clear that an individual-centric probe is simply unacceptable.
