UML issues whip not to give trust vote to PM Dahal

KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML has issued a whip to all its members in the House of Representatives (HoR) to mandatorily attend a session of the lower house scheduled for July 12 and to vote against Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to seek a vote of confidence in the Parliament meeting on July 12.

He decided to seek a confidence vote after major ruling partner UML withdrew its support to the government following the recent agreement with the Nepali Congress to form a new government.

The whip was issued by party’s Chief Whip Mahesh Kumar Bartaula.
