Kathmandu, Feb 20:

Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai again asked for the postponement of the meeting of the NC parliamentary party scheduled for Monday.

In a press statement issued late Sunday evening, Prime Minister Bhattarai said that the parliamentary party meeting was called without consulting with him and asked to postpone for a period of one week to enable him to attend.

The meeting of NC parliamentary party was called to discuss the no-trust motion registered in the party by 58 lawmakers of the Nepali Congress against Prime Minister Bhattarai.

” I should know the charges on the basis of which no-trust motion was registered in the party so that I can clarify and answer those charges in the meeting”, he said.

” I would attend the meeting of NC parliamentary party and explain my position only when the charges against me are known”, he said.
