Kathmandu, April 22
In the wake of the government’s decision to issue two controversial ordinances related to political parties and the Constitutional Council, 11 central working committee members of the main opposition, Nepali Congress, have demanded that the party launch a resistance movement against the government.
The leaders demanded that their party’s president Sher Bahadur Deuba call a central committee meeting to take a decision in this regard.
Chandra Bhandari, Kamala Panta, Dhan Raj Gurung, Ratna Sherchan, Gagan Thapa, Badri Pandey, Jeevan Pariyar, Guru Raj Ghimire, Pradeep Paudel, Ram Krishna Yadav and Sarita Prasain issued a statement on Wednesday and stressed the need to launch a protest immediately.
Arguing that the government issued the ordinances in this time of global crisis with ill intent, they said the party leadership should play an effective role at this moment.
