UML lawmakers obstruct parliament meeting

Kathmandu, 26 May (2023) - Lawmakers from the main opposition party, the CPN (UML), obstructed a meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) today.

The main opposition party MPs stood from their seats in protest and blocked the meeting at its outset, saying the session could not start its business until the government clarified whether the 'jalahari' installed at the sanctum sanctorum of the Pashupatinath Temple is made of gold or brass.
