HoR meeting postponed until 1:30 pm Thursday

Kathmandu, May 28: A meeting of the House of Representatives has been postponed until 1:30 pm tomorrow.     

The federal parliament secretariat shared this information, issuing a notice today. The meeting scheduled for 11:00 am had started at 1:00 pm today. The meeting was postponed for half an hour after the opposition lawmakers protested demanding resignation of the Home Minister and formation of high-level probe committee, citing irregularities on visit visa.     

As the parliament failed to convene, the secretariat then rescheduled it for 3:30 pm by issuing a notice. Speaker Devraj Ghimire held a discussion with chief whips of major political parties to forge consensus on the differences, but the agreement eluded, thereby prompting Speaker to postpone the meeting against until Thursday.(RSS)
