KATHMANDU: The sixth meeting of the ongoing session of ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP)Standing Committee has resumed on Thursday.
However, party co-chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is not present at the meeting which is now being convened by co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
The meeting which was originally scheduled to take off at 11:00 am was delayed as PM Oli left Baluwatar to pay a visit to President Bidya Devi Bhandari at Sheetal Niwas.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister summoned a cabinet meeting at 12:00 pm, which now, turns out, has coincided with the SC meeting.
It is to be noted that NCPtop-rung leaders had recently asked PM Oli to step down from his post reasoning that the government has been handling its responsibilities rather inefficiently.
The PM had recently caused quite a stir in national and international media by means of this controversial statement wherein he blamed Indian state apparatus for making attempts to oust him.
