Opposition parties including the Nepali Congress obstructed the Parliament meeting on Sunday.

Soon after the meeting commenced, lawmakers from the opposition parties stood from their respective seats in a gesture of protest.

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.
