According to Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizen Parbat Gurung, Prime Minister Oli in the Cabinet meeting reassured the ministers that there would be no reshuffling of the present Cabinet, and urged them to continue their responsibilities.
A meeting of the Council of Minister was held at the official residence of Prime Minister Oli in Baluwatar this afternoon to discuss the contemporary issues.
“Rumours and baseless news reports in the media have it that I was going to reshuffle the present Cabinet, that is not true and do not believe such information,” Minister Gurung quoted the Prime Minister as saying.
