Jan 30, Kathmandu: The Maoist Centre’s official meeting has begun at the party’s central office in Parisdanda.
The Home Ministry is expected to be discussed at the functionary meeting presided over by Prime Minister and Party President Pushpa Kamal Dahal. The Ministry of Home Affairs is currently vacant after the Supreme Court ruled that outgoing Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane’s Nepalese citizenship was invalid.
According to a Maoist center leader who attended the meeting, there is currently disagreement over whether the Ministry of Home Affairs should be given to the National Independent Party or another party. Similarly, the CPN-UML has pressed Rabi to be reinstated as Home Minister. According to sources, this will also be discussed.
