Speaker Sapkota directs FinMin to attend HoR meeting after opposition sought his presence

KATHMANDU, May 19: The main opposition party, CPN-UML, sought the presence of Finance Minister Janardan Sharma during the ongoing House of Representatives (HoR) meeting.

The House sessions are currently underway to discuss the Budget Appropriation Bill. However, the Finance Minister Sharma was not present in the meeting.
