Opposition parties including Congress obstruct Parliament meeting

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.
