KATHMANDU, May 11: The main opposition party, the Nepali Congress (NC), boycotted a meeting of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee on Monday after Prime Minister Balen Shah was absent for the second consecutive time.
The NC said it decided to boycott the meeting after the prime minister, who is also overseeing the Home Ministry portfolio, repeatedly failed to attend despite the need to answer questions related to the ministry.
