KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli faction of the CPN-UML has asked the Madhav Kumar Nepal-Jhalanath Khanal camp to put off their national convention scheduled for March 17 and 18.
UML Secretary Pradeep Gyawali informed that the establishment faction made such a request to Nepal-Khanal camp at Monday’s party meet in Dhumbarai.
“Such gathering will not aid the party unity. Therefore, we requested them to defer the gathering,” said Gyawali.
Meanwhile, the disgruntled Nepal-Khanal faction has demanded cancellation of unilateral decisions made by the rival camp to put off their faction’s national gathering.
“We can cancel the meeting if Oli-faction is ready to withdraw its unilateral decisions of March 12,” said UML leader Bhim Rawal, who is in the disgruntled faction of the party.
