According to spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the meeting is called at 11 am to discuss the latest decision of the Supreme Court.

“A decision of a bench of the Supreme Court on the Communist Party of Nepal today, its overall aspect and our policy will be taken at a meeting of the standing committee at the party office in Parisdanda at 11 am,” he said.
