Kathmandu: Amidst mounting political tensions, the Nepali Congress, led by General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa, has pledged to prolong its obstruction of the House until the establishment of a parliamentary probe committee to address the alleged misappropriation of cooperatives' funds. Thapa's resolute stance came to light following a House of Representatives meeting on Sunday evening.

Thapa voiced concerns over Deputy Prime Minister Rabi Lamichhane's suspected interference in hindering the committee's formation, accusing him of veering away from the demand for transparency and accountability. He underscored the party's commitment to upholding integrity in governance, emphasizing that their actions are not directed against any particular political faction.

The removal of special and emergency hours from the House agenda underscores the gravity of the situation, highlighting the deepening political rifts within the Nepali political landscape. With Prime Minister Dahal set to face a vote of confidence on Monday, tensions continue to escalate as parties vie for accountability and reform.
