Pokhara, July 18
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is scheduled to address the Provincial Assembly meeting of Gandaki province in Pokhara on Thursday.
The federal and provincial opposition Nepali Congress, however, has warned of obstructing the meeting.
Congress provincial parliamentary committee’s deputy leader Mekh Lal Shrestha says the party will obstruct the meeting as per the decision made by its central leaders today.
“We have already informed the Nepal Communist Party,” he says, “The meeting will not take place tomorrow. The party has directed us to obstruct.”
NCP lawmaker Rajeev Pahari, however, has requested the opposition not to obstruct the meeting as the PM’s address is an opportunity for the entire Assembly and the province.
“This is an opportunity of the Congress as well.”
Meanwhile, the Assembly Secretariat has already made preparations for the meeting. It has already sent invitations to dignitaries.
