JANAKPUR, Aug 29: The Madhesh Provincial Assembly session has been postponed indefinitely due to disruptions by opposition parties.
On Friday, the opposition again disrupted the assembly, demanding the resignation of Finance Minister Sunil Kumar Yadav. Opposition chief whip Jawaharlal Kushwaha of the CPN (Maoist Centre) claimed that the budget presented by the finance minister contained errors, yet it was passed by the majority, and therefore Yadav should resign.

In response, Kumar Kant Jha, chief whip of the Nepali Congress, countered the opposition, criticizing their boycott of the all-party meeting and their continued obstruction of the assembly.
Following the dispute, Speaker Ramchandra Mandal postponed the session until further notice. The opposition has also been boycotting all-party meetings called by the Speaker for the past two days.
Earlier, on Thursday, the first meeting of the sixth session of the Madhesh Provincial Assembly was also disrupted by opposition parties. The parties involved in the obstruction included Janata Samajbadi Party, CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Nepal Sanghiya Samajbadi Party, Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal, and Nagarik Unmukti Party, who have actively blocked the assembly proceedings.
