Nepal Prime Minister K P Oli on Friday hit out at his political opponents for creating instability when the country was tackling the coronavirus outbreak.
Reports of conflict within the ruling Nepal Communist Party (CPN) have surfaced in the local media.
CPN chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal and senior leader Madhav Kumar are reportedly exerting pressure on Oli to vacate the prime minister's post, amidst China's efforts to patch up the differences.
In his address to the nation on International Labour Day, Oli said, "Some media and people are attempting to drag the country back to instability and backwardness when we are fighting the coronavirus outbreak."
