During the meeting today, Upper House Chairman Ganesh Prasad Timilsina read out the letter received from the Office of the President regarding certification of the Appropriation Bill-2078.
NA Chair Timilsina allowed lawmaker Khimlal Bhattarai to speak after lawmakers of the main opposition party CPN (UML) started protesting and Bhattarai urged the National Assembly Chair not to proceed with house business as they are still in protest as usual.
