KATHMANDU, July 23< Vice-Chairperson of the CPN-UML and a key leader of the Madhav Nepal-faction of the party, Bhim Bahadur Rawal, has withdrawn his resignation from the post of a member of the House of Representatives (HoR).
Spokesperson of the Federal Parliament Secretariat, Dr Rojnath Pandey, shared that Rawal withdrew the resignation which he had submitted to Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota on July 18.
Rawal, elected from Achham-1 representing the UML, had submitted the resignation from the HoR member following the internal dispute in the party a couple of hours before Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba tabled the confidence motion in restored parliament.
He had resigned from the post, expressing the concern that the game of politics is becoming non-political and unhealthy.
Chairperson KP Sharma Oli and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal urged leader Rawal to withdraw the resignation.
