Chairman Oli called the disgruntled side to join the discussions amid the heightened party row after the revival of the erstwhile CPN (UML). 


Oli was accompanied by Ishwor Pokharel, Subash Nembang, Bishnu Poudel and Pradeep Gywali while Bhim Rawal, Ghanashyam Bhushal and Raghuji Panta joined leader Nepal. Former chairman Jhalanath Khanal, however, was not present in today's meeting. 



The two sides held close interactions nearly after four months.


Following the vertical split of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) into CPN Maoist Center and CPN (UML), party leaders have been taking decisions and actions against each other. Oli-led UML decided to reshuffle roles and responsibilities of the party leaders including provincial in-charges and chiefs of various departments of the party on Friday. All leaders close to the Nepal-led faction of the UML were relieved from their party responsibilities.
