KATHMANDU: Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire is set to meet with the chief whips of political parties at 10:30 AM to ensure the smooth functioning of the parliament, according to the Speaker’s secretariat. This meeting will precede the scheduled House of Representatives (HoR) session at 11 AM.
The main opposition party, the Nepali Congress (NC), has been obstructing both lower and upper house meetings, demanding a parliamentary committee to investigate Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane's alleged involvement in a cooperative fraud case. However, following an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties to form the probe committee, today's HoR meeting is expected to proceed without disruptions.
