KATHMANDU, AUGUST 20

President Ram Chandra Paudel has summoned an all-party meeting at 8:30am on Tuesday.

President's press advisor Kiran Pokhrel informed the Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS) that President Paudel called all parties for meeting at his office coming Tuesday.

It is the first time President Paudel called all-party meeting after he held the post. The meeting is summoned in a bid to clear the parliamentary deadlock, so the political parties representing in the parliament were called for a joint meeting.

The major opposition CPN UML has been obstructing parliament continuously with the demand of high level probe committee on the gold smuggling scam.

Earlier, President Paudel had discussed with top leaders of major political parties calling at his residence.
