He said that Indian media has crossed all limits of propaganda against Nepal government and Prime Minister Oli. Now this is happening a lot. It should be discontinued.

According to Nepali media reports, the Chinese ambassador held a meeting with Prachanda at his residence on Thursday, but both refused to say anything regarding the meeting. Hou has also met with several leaders of the ruling party, including President Bidya Devi Bhandari, former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal..

33 of 44 members demanded Oli’s resignation

To solve the ongoing deadlock in the party, the Communist Party convened a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss the working style and failure of Oli’s government. At the meeting, 33 of the 44 members demanded Oli’s resignation, but Oli was not ready to step down. A member of the Standing Committee said that after the Standing Committee meeting was adjourned, so far 6 meetings have been held between Prachanda and Oli, but the matter will be more developmental.
