Party’s stand must for timely general convention: Koirala



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress leader Dr Shekhar Koirala has said entire party line requires to exert pressure on party leadership for holding the 15th general convention in time.

Party President Sher Bahadur Deuba needs to be prodded even via social media everyday to remind him of timely general convention.

Leader Koirala was speaking at an interaction organized NC district committee, Solukhumbu on ‘consensus, cooperation and unity within NC’ in the federal capital on Saturday. He argued once NC is weakened entire democratic system is weakened, so timeliness in party’s general convention warrants focus.

He further viewed, “We are on the run up to the convention. But delay and postponement of the event can not be imaged. So, write even on social media to exert pressure on party leadership toward this urgency.”

Koirala expressed severe concern over the views being surfaced over postponement of the general convention- after the 2084 general election, which he argued, would paralyse the party.

According to him, the discipline committee of the party itself became a victim of groupism. Even the ‘note of dissent’ was not given recognition in the party. The NC President should initiate efforts for cementing party organization with utmost unity and cooperation.
