Submitting his note of dissent in the erstwhile meeting, senior leader Nepal had expressed his displeasure over the secretariat's earlier decision to appoint office-bearers of provincial committees, calling the move as 'unilateral' and 'non-inclusive'.
The disgruntled 'Nepal faction' of the NCP has been demanding to hold the party's standing committee meeting as early as possible to sort out ongoing intra-party disputes.
Leader Nepal has been criticizing the performance of Oli-led government in public forums in recent days.
