The government Thursday decided to promulgate three ordinances even as the main opposition Nepali Congress has strongly opposed it.

A cabinet meeting held this evening decided to introduce the ordinances. Agriculture minister JP Gupta said the ordinances are related to involuntary disappearances, social inclusion and the voter list.

Earlier, three consecutive cabinet meetings were postponed owing to differences between the ruling allies.

During a meeting yesterday Nepali Congress leaders had suggested the Prime Minister not to introduce the ordinances as the move would undermine the parliament. Nevertheless, Dahal reiterated the government’s resolve to go ahead with the ordinances and sought NC’s support. nepalnews.com mk Feb 05 09
