Speaker invites top leaders to BAC meeting
The main opposition party, CPN-UML, which is demanding the formation of a high-level probe committee in the 100 kg gold smuggling case, has been continuously obstructing the proceedings of parliament.
In Tuesday's meeting, Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha gave a response in this regard, but the Speaker adjourned the parliament meeting until today after UML lawmakers interrupted expressing dissatisfaction over the response of Minister Shrestha.
