Kathmandu, Aug 1

The House of Representatives (HoR) meeting has been postponed until Monday.

According to Speaker Devraj Ghimire’s press advisor Shekhar Adhikari, the next HoR meeting has been scheduled for 1 PM Monday.

The House meeting was postponed on Tuesday before it could even begin.

As the main opposition CPN-UML has said that it will not let Parliament function until a high-level committee is formed to investigate the recent gold smuggling case, Speaker Ghimire had called a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee to end the House obstruction.

UML remained adamant in the meeting that it would continue to obstruct House proceedings until a committee was formed to investigate the gold smuggling case.

The HoR meeting scheduled for Tuesday could not take place as an agreement could not be reached on forming such a committee.
