Kathmandu, 27 July: Resumed parliament session was adjourned until Tuesday for the second successive day Monday.

An all-party meeting has been called to discuss the resumed disruption.
Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal was scheduled to address parliament Monday on import of weapons from India opposed by India.
UNMIN says the resumption would violate a 12-point peace agreement between Maoists and seven political parties.
But government sources said the import of non-legal weapons is regular and not illegal.
Nepal denied government is importing arms after a three-year interruption even after New Delhi said it was ready to resume supplies during a India visit of Defence Ministe Bidya Bhandari.
