In Nepal, a special session of Parliament is being held from this afternoon to discuss formation of the new government amidst continuing political uncertainty. The session has been convened by the President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav at the behest of the main opposition, Unified CPN (Maoist) and from smaller parties under the provisions of article 51(3) of the Interim Constitution. Our correspondent reports that the last session of Parliament was prorogued on the 19th of last month after the Maoist law makers obstructed the Finance Minister from presenting the annual budget which was later passed through an ordinance.
