KATHMANDU: The Sher Bahadur Deuba-led faction of the Nepali Congress has warned of countrywide protests if the Election Commission fails to grant the party official recognition in accordance with its constitution.
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s central office in Sanepa, acting party president Purna Bahadur Khadka said the Commission should not take the wrong path, though there remains some concern. “If the Election Commission does not recognize the Nepali Congress under our leadership, the party is ready to launch a nationwide movement,” he said.
Khadka added that party activists would take to villages and wards carrying the party’s four-star flag in the event of such action. He also instructed party workers across the country to be prepared for mobilization if protests become necessary.
