HoR meeting postponed, to convene on Wednesday

Kathmandu, May 27: Today's meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) is slated for coming Wednesday at 11:00 am.     

Issuing a notice here today, Federal Parliament Secretary- General Padma Prasad Pandey informed about the postponement of Lower House's today's meeting owing to a 'special reason'.     

The postponement follows the protest from the parliamentarians from the major opposition parties who had stood from their respective seats in a gesture of protest as the meeting started today.     

Parliamentarians from CPN (Maoist Centre), Rastriya Swatantra Party, Rastriya Prajatantra Party among others obstructed the House's meeting, demanding formation of a high-level probe commission to investigate on visit visa scandal.
