A meeting of the House of Representatives has been postponed till 1:30 pm Thursday.

The Federal Parliament Secretariat shared this information by issuing a notice today.

The meeting scheduled for 11 am started at 1 pm today.

The meeting was postponed for half an hour after the opposition lawmakers staged a protest demanding resignation of the Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and formation of high-level probe committee, citing irregularities on visit visa.

As the Parliament failed to convene, the Secretariat then rescheduled it for 3:30 pm by issuing a notice.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire held a discussion with chief whips of major political parties to forge consensus on the differences, but the agreement eluded, thereby prompting the Speaker to postpone the meeting till tomorrow.
