NC leader Bimalendra Nidhi informed that the parties agreed on NC’s proposal of finalizing the regulation through consensus rather voting process.Similarly, UML chief whip Bhanubhakta Dhakal said that they agreed to finalize the parliament work regulation consensus after the budget presentation.On the other hand, Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal chief whip Shivji Yadav added that the dispute over the number was unnecessary, saying that the 15-member provision for the committee was referential after the new election of the parliament. The ruling and the opposition parties are still at odds on how many members should be there on the parliamentary special hearing committee (SHC), further delaying the formation of the important committee.Both sides remained rigid in their stance over the numbers as the ruling CPN (UML) and CPN-Maoist (Centre) are strongly advocating for a 15-member committee while the opposition Nepali Congress is pushing for 75 members.The ruling parties are stressing on 15 members taking recourse to the provision of the constitution for the same while opposition NC wants the 75-member committee stressing on the proportional representation of parliament members and the provision of the inclusion similar to other parliament committees.A meeting for the same was called at the initiation of the parliament speaker Onsari Gharti today.The parties were working out to finalize it before the budget scheduled for tomorrow but could not do so today.The Maoist (Centre) chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal following the meeting shared that they agreed to reach to the agreement after tomorrow’s budget.
