Kathmandu: Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Padam Giri has clarified that the government has not imposed any kind of suppression in the parliament despite protests from the main opposition. Talking to media persons after today's meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR), he said the main opposition was the cause behind deferral of an ordinance that should be tabled on the first day of the House session. "The government has shown readiness to address the issue raised by the main opposition. We are not in a mood to suppress its voice", he added. Minister Giri further share that efforts were also made this morning to reach to a consensus. "Discussions have been made from different quarters; we are close to a consensus".

NC leader and former Finance Minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat said the government has failed to listen to the voice of the opposition.

Meanwhile, CPN (UML) Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai said the government was ready to constitute a parliamentary probe committee and expressed his confidence that consensus would be forged with main opposition, NC, soon.
