Kathmandu: The meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) has been adjourned until coming Thursday.

The meeting of the Lower House was initially summoned at 1:00 pm today. It was shifted to 3:15 pm after failing to forge a consensus among the parties for the meeting, according to the Parliament Secretariat.

The meeting also could not convene at the aforesaid time leading to the postponement of the House meeting till 1:00 pm Thursday, added the Secretariat.

The Secretariat, thus, issued a notice here today to officially notify about the postponement and summoning the next meeting at 1:00 PM on coming Thursday.

The opposition party including CPN (Maoist Centre), Rastriya Swatantra Party and CPN (Unified Socialist) among others have been obstructing the Parliament.

They have been demanding resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and the formation of a parliamentary or judicial inquiry committee to probe the irregularities and human trafficking issues relating to the visit visa scam.

Deliberation on the newly unveiled budget was in today’s agenda for the meeting.
It may be noted that the incumbent government on May 29 had introduced an annual budget of Rs 1,964 billion for the fiscal year 2025/26.

The House could not hold a meeting on last Tuesday either after the protesting parliamentarians remained adamant on their demands.
