Political uncertainty has been increasing in Nepal after acting Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's decision to dissolve the parliament last year. Amid the political uncertainity, PM Oli has called for a Security Council meeting on Tuesday morning amid rising political uncertainty following his decision to dissolve the parliament last year.

Oli has summoned a meeting at 9:30 am at his official residence in Baluwatar where Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali, Finance Minister Bishnu Poudel, Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa and Chief of Army Staff Purna Chandra Thapa are expected to be present.

There is a constitutional provision for the National Security Council to be chaired by the PM to make policies regarding the overall national interest, security, and defense, and to recommend to the government for the mobilisation or control of the Nepal Army.

The last round of meetings was held on December 21 last year. The last round of the meeting came after a day after Oli dissolved the parliament calling for fresh elections, nearly two years before the schedule. The latest round of meeting of Security Council meeting collides with the time when the Supreme Court is preparing to began delivering its verdict over a dozen cases challenging Oli's decision to dissolve the parliament.
