The meeting of Bagmati Province has been postponed. The meeting of the Provincial Assembly, which was supposed to be held at 1 pm on Tuesday, was moved to 1 pm on Wednesday due to the failure to reach an agreement in the all-party meeting. The meeting of the 7 parties of the state assembly held since Tuesday morning has become inconclusive.
In the meeting called by Speaker Bhuvan Kumar Pathak, the ruling party and the opposition failed to agree on the previous budget and the recent suicide case of the private secretary of Cooperative Minister Madukumar Shrestha. The meeting ended without agreement.
Even though there was an agreement in the all-party meeting, the meeting was postponed after some MPs of the opposition party disagreed in the working arrangement consultation meeting, said the spokesperson of the government, Internal Affairs and Law Minister Surajchandra Lamichhane.
Ratna Dhakal, chief whip of the Maoist Center Bagmati Province Parliamentary Party, said that the government could not reach an agreement because it ignored the opposition parties. He alleges that the government has not been responsible for the past agreements and demands of some issues.
He said that the implementation of the agreement on the budget made in the past and the formation of the investigation committee of Cooperative Minister Shrestha were raised. He said that the meeting could not reach a consensus because the government did not give a proper answer.
He has warned that if the government does not get an answer with a commitment, he will also block the parliament that will be held on Wednesday.
