Oli alleged that the government had introduced the ordinance to split the party in a criminal way and that the speaker was a puppet of the conspirator to split the CPN-UML. “The government has brought an ordinance with the criminal mentality to split the UML. The speaker has become a conspirator in this act,” he said.

Oli said that the UML had protested against the speaker’s decision to include non-MPs in the meetings and that the party would continue to obstruct the meeting until the party’s concerns are addressed.
