However, after a while, UML made a new proposal to withdraw the statement of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha and the press release issued by Govinda Acharya, the press adviser to the DPM.

In a meeting held at the Office of the Council of Ministers this morning, UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli agreed not to block the House meeting  after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal agreed to rectify his speech delivered on July 3.

The meeting participated by Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN (Maoist Center) Pushpa Kamal Dahal and UML Chairman Oli lasted for around one and a half hours.
