Kathmandu: Nepal Prime Minister and Chairman of the ruling Nepal Communist Party KP Oli has informed his party’s standing committee meeting that he will not be able to attend the meeting to discuss the prevailing issues.
Sending a two-page letter to the standing committee meeting on Sunday afternoon, PM Oli expressed his unwillingness to come to the party office for the meeting of the standing committee where he has been losing his majority, reports ANI.
“In today’s (Sunday) meeting, Chairman KP Sharma Oli remained absent. Giving a reason to his absence, he sent a letter addressing the meeting. The letter was read out by Secretariat member Ishwor Pokhrel formally informing the meeting about it. Oli has reiterated his earlier opinion stating that Prachanda’s (Pushpa Kamal Dahal) proposal cannot be discussed in the meeting formally. Oli has cited this reason for not being able to attend the meeting,” Narayan Kaji Shrestha, spokesperson for ruling Nepal Communist Party, was quoted as saying by ANI.
In the letter, Oli has reiterated his previous stance that Dahal should withdraw his political proposal tabled in the Secretariat without any pre-conditions, reports ANI.
“I suggest that the Standing Committee meeting should discuss finalising the pending works relating to the party unification, making preparations for the party’s upcoming general convention and working toward a better response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Oli mentioned in the letter.
Oli has expressed his aim of keeping the party unity intact.
