Political Stability Still Elusive

On the eve of Nepali New Year 2081 B.S., a Cabinet meeting decided to prorogue the winter session effective from April 14. The government had not ended the parliamentary session just to give time to the lawmakers to celebrate the New Year with their well-wishers in their respective constituencies. This is because it could not conduct any business in the House of Representatives (HoR) due to its continuous disruption by the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC). On Friday, CPN-UML chair KP Sharma Oli said the House was prorogated because of the obstruction of NC that has been demanding a formation of parliamentary panel to probe into the alleged misuse of cooperative funds by Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.
