  KATHMANDU, 10 JUNE (ONS): The opposition parties boycotted an all-party meeting summoned by Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai on Tuesday.

  The meeting was called to forge consensus on fiscal years budget.

  The Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, among other opposition parties, boycotted the meeting citing there was no significance of the meeting called by the government.

  According to UML General Secretary Ishwor Pokharel, they decided to boycott the meeting on moral ground.

  “If the meeting was called with the intention to create environment of consensus, then the prime minister should first table his resignation to pave way for consensus,” Pokharel said.

  Likewise, NC General Secretary Krishna Sitaula said the party boycotted the meeting as it has already initiated talks with other political parties.

  He said all the 25 opposition parties including Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Rastriya Janashakti Party, CPN-ML, Sadbhawana Party Anandidevi, boycotted today’s meeting.

  However, the meeting is underway in Singhadurbar including the ruling parties and those supporting the government.

  The prime minister had called the meeting to forge consensus on budget, discussion on contentious issues, among others.
