HoR won’t reinstated: PM Oli
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli today reiterated that the dissolved House of Representatives (HoR) would not be reinstated in any pretext. Stating that there is a provision in Article 76 (7) of the constitution that the HoR shall be dissolved, he said the HoR dissolved by President as per the constitution was a political issue.
