Kathmandu: The taskforce assigned to finalise the function, duty and authority of a parliamentary committee to be formed to investigate cases of misappropriation of cooperatives’ funds will meet again tomorrow after discussing with top political leaders.

Taskforce member and CPN-UML Whip Mahesh Bartaula said the meeting held at the Law Ministry today could not reach an agreement since the ruling and opposition sides took their stances.

The main opposition Nepal Congress has been demanding the formulation of a parliamentary probe committee to investigate the alleged role of the Home Minister in the misappropriation of cooperatives’ funds.
