KATHMANDU: The meeting of the Federal Parliament’s House of Representatives (HoR) has been adjourned until Wednesday.

The meeting scheduled for 11 am today has been postponed until 1 pm on Wednesday, after no consensus was reached to conduct it, said Speaker Devaraj Ghimire’s press advisor, Shekhar Adhikari.

The meeting could not take place at 11 am today after the opposition party stuck to its demand for the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak over the visit visa scam.

Although Speaker Ghimire held a meeting with the Chief Whips of the ruling and opposition parties, the HoR meeting has been postponed until Wednesday due to a failure to reach an agreement.

The meeting of the CPN (Maoist Centre), the Rastriya Swatantra Party, and the CPN (Unified Socialist) held at the Parliament Building in Singha Durbar today decided that the House meeting would not be allowed to take place until Home Minister Lekhak resigns over the visit visa issue.
