KATHMANDU: Chairman of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Prachanda-Nepal faction Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has commented that the Supreme Court’s decision to revive former NCP (UML) and NCP (Maoist) as “unexpected”.
Speaking to the media persons at the Parliament Secretariat on Sunday, Prachanda said that the SC verdict has been quite different from what they had though of.
