It’s an attempt to stop a Mahabharat, This could be a final preparation for a Mahabharat if parties and leaders don’t abandon their stances and come to a modern agreement,” Prachanda warned.

Then they will bring the former king from Nagarjung to Narahanhiti,” Bhattarai said referring to likely opposition moves in the future. nnnn“ UML EXPELS ANG KAZI SHERPA Kathmandu, 16 June: UML Saturday expelled Janajati leader Ang Kazi Sherpa from the party.
