Kathmandu, August 1
The National Assembly on Wednesday endorsed a condolence motion on the death of former lawmaker Krishna Kumar Joshi.
Following the endorsement of the proposal, the meeting has been adjourned for 11:30 am on Thursday. Customarily, Parliament meetings do not discuss other agendas after endorsing a condolence motion.
A minute of silence was also observed to pay tribute to Joshi during the meeting.
The Nepali Congress leader had represented Baitadi Constituency 1 in the first House of Representatives elected after the restoration of multiparty democracy in 1991.
Meanwhile, Joshi’s body has been kept at the party’s central office in Sanepa of Lalitpur for final tributes.
The party says he will be cremated at Pashupati Aryaghat later this afternoon.
