The task force will include the heads of the parliamentary divisions, the chief whips, and whips of both parties as members. Additional members appointed from the (NC) are Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka, General Secretary Gagan Thapa, Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba, and Home Minister Ramesh Lekh. From the UML, senior leader Ishwar Pokhrel, Vice President Bishnu Paudel, General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel, and Deputy General Secretary Bishnu Rimal have been assigned responsibilities.
On the one hand, with the bills stalled in parliament, and on the other hand, to prevent parliament from becoming ineffective due to a lack of business, both NC and UML believe that this task force will work to have sufficient discussions and find a resolution on the bills.
