KATHMANDU, Aug 11: President Ramchandra Paudel has expressed his interest in the ongoing deadlock in parliament. According to the President's Press Adviser Kiran Pokharel, President Paudel expressed his concern about the prolonged deadlock within parliament during a meeting held at Sheetal Niwas on Friday morning with Speaker Devraj Ghimire and National Assembly Speaker Ganesh Prasad Timilsina.

President Paudel inquired about the initiatives being taken to remove the deadlock, saying that if parliament could not proceed for a long time, the public would become disillusioned and it would also hinder the law-making process.

President Paudel also drew the attention of Speaker Ghimire and National Assembly Chairman Timilsina to take the necessary steps to remove the deadlock and resume the proceedings of parliament.

The CPN-UML has been obstructing the meeting in the Federal Parliament since July 26, demanding the formation of a high-level probe committee to investigate the 100 kg gold smuggling case.
