KATHMANDU, Aug 8: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal today convened a meeting with the Speaker and top leaders of three major political parties to seek potential ways for ending the ongoing House stalemate.

The meeting underway at the Prime Minister's official residence at the call of the Prime Minister himself is being attended by Speaker Devraj Ghimire, former Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, former Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli and chief whips of the three political parties.

It may be noted that the UML, the major opposition, continues to obstruct the House proceedings since the confiscation of around 100 kilos of gold that was smuggled out from Tribhuvan International Airport on July 18.

The party demands the formation of a high-level committee to ensure 'impartial' investigations into the case. This continuous obstruction in the House has led to delays in endorsing important bills.
