PM Dahal is discussing with CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba at Singha Durbar to remove the obstruction in the House.  


During the phone conversation between the Speaker and PM Dahal, Speaker Ghimire also wished for a positive conclusion to open the House through the discussion between the three top leaders.  


UML disrupted today's meeting of the National Assembly and had already said that it would also disrupt the meeting of the House of Representatives, demanding the PM's resignation.


After Prime Minister Dahal, who is also the Chairman of the Maoist Center, made a public statement that Sardar Pritam Singh had made several efforts to make Dahal the Prime Minister and that he had also visited Delhi several times for the same purpose, the UML has been obstructing meetings of both houses of the Federal Parliament, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Dahal.
