NCP Chairmen KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ have invited members of a panel formed by the standing committee to look into the organisational details of the merger between then UML and Maoist Centre parties to Baluwatar.
According to sources, the nine-member committee has been invited to Baluwatar on Monday to receive instructions from the top leaders. Although the standing commitee nominate eight members (Bishnu Paudel, Ram Bahadur Thapa, Shanker Pokhrel, Yogesh Bhattarai, Barsaman Pun, Bedu Ram Bhusal, Raghubir Mahaseth, Surendra Pandey and Lekhraj Bhatta) to the panel, a coordinator is yet to be named.
Sources say that the chairmen are likely to pick a coordinator during the meeting later on Monday. The committee has been told to look into complaints by members who say that the merger did not take place as planned. The committee has also been told to identify rules that contradict the party statute. The new committee will also recommend on various issues related to the statute.
