KATHMANDU: Today, the Nepali Congress (NC), the primary opposition party, is convening its Parliamentary Party Working Committee and Parliamentary Party meetings in Kathmandu. At 1 pm, the Parliamentary Party Working Committee meeting is scheduled, to be followed by the Parliamentary Party meeting at 2 pm. Both meetings will take place in the Lhotse Hall of the Federal Parliament Building in New Baneswor.

Among the key agenda items for discussion is the decision on whether to oppose the government’s upcoming policies and programs, which are slated for submission to parliament on May 14 (Tuesday). These policies and programs will be presented by President Ram Chandra Paudel during a joint session of the Federal Parliament tomorrow.

The Nepali Congress has been actively involved in obstructing parliamentary proceedings, with a primary demand for the formation of a parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate the alleged involvement of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane in a cooperative case. This ongoing stance is expected to be reiterated and possibly reinforced during today’s meetings.
