Coalition partners boycott cabinet meeting

KATHMANDU, May 4: Ministers from all the four ruling coalition parties snubbed the cabinet meeting called by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal at his office Monday* to discuss the situation developed after the president´s order against his decision of sacking the army chief, according to our correspondent Kiran Chapagain.



The second largest ruling party, CPN-UML, has pulled out of the government while another major coalition partner Madhesi People´s Rights Forum (MPRF) is yet to take decision on whether or not to continue in the government. The MPRF however has already opposed the government´s decision of sacking army chief General Rookmagud Katawal.
