Kathmandu: Nepali Congress has obstructed the first meeting of the budget session of the House of Representatives, demanding a house panel be formed to investigate allegations against Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane. 

Following the obstruction, Speaker Devraj Ghimire adjourned the meeting for 15 minutes. 

At the beginning of the meeting, Speaker Ghimire allowed Nepali Congress lawmaker Gagan Thapa to speak.

Before the national budget is presented, both the Houses of the federal parliament must endorse the government’s policies and programmes after deliberations. 

The President is scheduled to present the policies and programmes in the joint sessions of both Houses on Tuesday.
