A decisive meeting is scheduled to be held today at 3 pm between the five parties of the ruling coalition to reach an agreement on MCC approval has been postponed till 5 pm.

After Prime Minister Deuba failed to present the MCC in the parliament due to disagreement among the coalition parties to present the MCC in the parliament meeting held yesterday, the meeting between the parties scheduled to be held at 3 o’clock today has been postponed till 5pm. It has been said that the meeting has been postponed after the meeting held this morning between Prachanda and Deuba at Prime Minister residence Baluwatar ended without any conclusion.
While the Nepali Congress insists on passing the MCC as it is, the Socialists and the Maoist Center are in favor of not passing the MCC under any circumstances without modification.

After the Supreme Court indicated that it would take up the case against the Speaker, dismissal of 14 MPs including Nepal and the case of Lalita Niwas land scandal, Nepal and Prachand agreed to pass MCC only after the impeachment motion against chief justice. But Nepal and Prachanda backfired on Deuba just after the impeachment motion filed against chief justice and withdrew the support from mcc .

Jaspa, who has been supporting Deuba in favor of MCC, has also changed its opinion since yesterday and left Deuba alone in MCC approval.
However, Baburam Bhattarai has been in favour of mcc. Rastriya Janamorcha, on the other hand, has been demanding the abolition of the MCC.

Meanwhile, Prachanda has already made public his decision to leave the government if the MCC is forcibly tabled in the parliament.
The Congress now appears to be alone in favor of the MCC within the alliance.
Even within the CPN-UML, MPs are divided on the issue of MCC.
However, Chairman Oli has said that he will support to pass the MCC on the condition of the Speaker’s resignation and the breaking of alliance.
