House of Representatives meeting : Agenda for today’s meeting

Kathmandu: The second meeting of the House of Representatives under the winter session is being held today. The meeting will begin at 1 pm at the Federal Parliament Building in New Baneshwor.

The agenda for today’s meeting is to submit a proposal to pass the ordinance. Similarly, the agenda for today’s meeting of the House of Representatives includes submitting proposals to reject the ordinance.

Opposition party lawmakers have registered 50 proposals in the House of Representatives and 16 in the National Assembly to reject the ordinance.

Since the ruling party has a majority in the House of Representatives, it is seen that the ordinance will be easily passed there. However, since the ruling parties don’t have a majority in the National Assembly, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba have sought the support of JASAPA Nepal. For that, top leaders of the ruling party are trying their best to bring Upendra Yadav in favor of the ordinance.
