House meeting postponed as both NC and UML claim to be opposition party

The House of Representatives (HoR) meeting called for Wednesday has been postponed after both Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML insisted to sit on the opposition bench.

NC, that has been staying on the opposition side despite voting for the Pushpa Kamal Dahal government during the floor test on January 10, insisted that it will sit on the opposition side despite forging a new ruling coalition recently. The grand old party has been stating that it will sit on the opposition bench until it joins the government.
