"I don't believe that," Paudel replied when the reporters asked if lawmakers of the dissident faction are resigning.
Nembang said the two leaders had an open discussion with Nepal. "We have no differences about further strengthening party unity. We all are worried how to resolve the problem and reach conclusion," Nembang stated.
He claimed that the dispute will soon be resolved and more meetings will be held to solidly resolve the problem.
