Speaker Devraj Ghimir is discussing with the chief whips of major political parties in the Parliament building. Speaker Ghimire is talking to the major parties to remove the obstruction of the Parliament.

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ajay Kumar Chaurasia is also participating in the meeting. The future of five ordinances in the parliamentary process is in doubt as the opposition party continues to obstruct the House in protest against the removal of Kulman Ghising as the Executive Director of the Electricity Authority. According to the deadline set by the constitution, those ordinances will automatically become inactive if they are not passed by the parliament by next Tuesday.

The opposition parties have maintained a stand to continue the obstruction until Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli gives an answer in the House regarding the dismissal of the Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising . According to the Secretariat of the Speaker, the notification of Prime Minister Oli's reply has not yet come.

However, UML chief whip Mahesh Bertaula said on Thursday that a minister on behalf of the government and not the prime minister can answer in the House.
