HoR meeting postponed till Friday

Kathmandu, May 16: As the opposition Nepali Congress (NC) continued obstructing the House business, the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting was postponed on Thursday.     

Speaker Devraj Ghimire postponed the meeting until 11:00 am on Friday after the HoR members of the NC encircled the rostrum of parliament.     

In the meeting, Speaker Ghimire had given time to Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane to speak in parliament but the parliamentary business could not proceed following the NC's protests.     

The opposition NC has been obstructing the House business for long putting its demand for the formation of a parliamentary committee for a fair probe into the alleged involvement of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane on misappropriation of cooperative organizations' funds. (RSS)
