Nepal PM dissolves Parliament, Opposition cries foul

Nepal government of KP Sharma Oli has dissolved the country's Parliament.

The section was taken during an emergency meeting called by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

"It (recommendation) has been sent to the President," says Energy Miniter Barsaman Pun.

Meanwhile, Narayankaji Shrestha, Spokesperson of ruling Nepal Communist Party, slammed the decision to dissolve the Parliament.

"The decision has been made in haste as all the ministers weren’t present in the cabinet meeting this morning. This is against the democratic norms & would take the nation backwards. It can’t be implemented."

According to reports, political analysts had been pointing towards the possibility of Oli resorting to house dissolution as Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madav Nepal’s faction held an edge over the PM in various party committees.
