All-party meeting taking place today

Kathmandu : An all-party meeting called by Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota to end the deadlock that surfaced in the parliament is taking place this afternoon.

The meeting has been called for 2.30 pm Monday at Lhotse Hall in the New Baneswor-based federal parliament building. According to the Speaker’s Secretariat, the all-party meeting would be focused on contemporary issues, including ending deadlock underway in the parliament.

The parliamentary proceedings have been affected due to obstruction by main opposition CPN-UML since the convening of the current session of the parliament. Though the parliament meeting was held twice on Sunday, it was postponed up to Tuesday.
