KATHMANDU: Speaker Onsari Gharti Magar has called a meeting of five biggest political parties at 1 pm in Kathmandu, on Sunday. Leaders of the CPN Maoists Centre, Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Rastriya Prajatantra Party and Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Democratic have been called to attend the meeting. The meeting has been called to discuss the continuous obstruction at the House, staged by the opposition parties including UML, since November 29, 2016. Meanwhile, the next parliamentary meeting has also been called at 1 pm today. The meeting had been postponed for five days after the UML obstructed the House meeting last Tuesday.
