PM holds meeting with Deuba, Dahal over transitional justice

Kathmandu, August 18

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli held a meeting with Co-chair of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba today, on the premises of the Parliament in Baneshwor, to expedite transitional justice process.

The recommendation committee formed to nomi-nate office bearers of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Com-mission of Investigation of Enforced Disappeared Per-sons, is yet unable to nomi-nate the office bearers. The committee has not been able to nominate office bear-ers due to lack of green sig-nal from major political par-ties.

PM Oli held consultations with Deuba and Dahal after delivering speech in the House of Representatives, where he said he would ex-pedite process of appointing office bearers in the two transitional mechanisms. Deuba’s personal aide Bha-nu Deuba said the three leaders met briefly at the Parliament building and de-cided to discuss the issues in detail on Thursday.
