Nepal's political landscape took an unexpected turn on Thursday when President Ramchandra Paudel suspended the Parliament session scheduled for April 30. This decision, deemed unprecedented by opposition leaders, has left many questioning the undisclosed special reasons behind it.

According to Ritesh Kumar Shakya, spokesperson for the President's Office, the suspension came on the recommendation of the government and the Council of Ministers. This follows a period of political turbulence, with the recent resignation of Home Minister Sudan Gurung amidst financial misconduct allegations.

Prime Minister Balendra Shah had previously removed Labour Minister Dip Kumar Sah, underscoring the ongoing commitment to addressing corruption. The April 30 session was set to follow a tumultuous joint session in early April, raising concerns about the stability of Nepal's political environment.
