Nepali Congress, RSP Lock Horns

The largest opposition party, the Nepali Congress (NC), and a crucial partner in the ruling coalition, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), have recently been involved in a political standoff that has interrupted House of Representatives sessions. Some prominent Nepali Congress politicians have expressed their displeasure with the Home Minister and Rastriya Swatantra Party chair, Rabi Lamichhane, over, what they have termed, his misuse of cooperative savings.
