KATHMANDU: Speaker Onsari Gharti Magar would hold a meeting with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Saturday in a bid to end the current stalemate at the House. Gharti would meet Dahal at 7 am on Saturday, according to Gharti's press advisor Babin Sharma. Of late, the head of the legislative body is busy in parleys with parties as the House saw continuous obstruction from opposition parties for nearly two weeks. Opposition parties including the main opposition CPN-UML have been obstructing the Parliament meeting demanding that the government immediately withdraw the Constitution amendment bill which they say was against national interests.
