According to the TV, the prime minister is expected to address his views about recent political situation developed especially after the government's decision to sack Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangud Katawal and President Ram Baran Yadav's order to ask Katawal to continue in office.
Prime Minister has called emergency meeting of the cabinet at 1p.m. (0715 GMT) to discuss the government's future move.
President Ram Baran Yadav faxed a special instruction to Katawal late on Sunday evening, "asking him to continue in his office in the capacity of CoAS as per the Interim Constitution, 2007, and the existing law", a move that nullified the cabinet decision to sack Katawal.
Nepali government led by the UCPN-M on Sunday morning decided to sack CoAS Katawal without the coalition's consensus.
The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), which is the second largest party of the five-member ruling coalition, and Sadbhavana Party led by Rajendra Mahato pulled out from the coalition government.
The UCPN-M emerged from the CA elections in April 2008 as the single largest party and led the formation of the first republic government in August 2008.
