Earlier, the CPN-UML had been obstructing parliament, due to which a meeting scheduled for yesterday was also postponed. However, after an agreement was reached in the party to propose the formation of an inquiry committee, the CPN-UML has stated that it will cooperate and allow the parliament meeting to proceed if the ruling party agrees to their proposal. Or else, they might cause further obstruction, a party leader said.
