RSP national assembly: Discussion on organizational report and province-wise 'reporting' today

Kathmandu, September 17 — The national assembly of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has kicked off at Nepal Academy in Kathmandu today.     

Party President Rabi Lamichhane and office-bearers inaugurated the meet to continue up to Wednesday by ringing the bell.     

At the inauguration of the first national conclave, Lamichhane called for continuing the party campaign until a two-thirds majority was achieved.     

Saying that he has to perpetually fight from naming of the party to the recent cooperative case, President Lamichhane urged the party leaders and cadres to continue to fight resolutely under any circumstances.     

"There will be continued attacks on us and the party. Let's be prepared to face such blows and assaults. RSP has joined politics not to win or lose, but for change and inspiration. No one can defeat us", he asserted.     

Admitting that they had lost the election in Ilam due to lack of organizational base and strategy, he urged the leaders and cadres to be active to get majority in the upcoming elections in 2084 BS.     

Regarding the report of the Parliamentary Special Investigation Committee on Cooperatives, Lamichhane argued that those who defamed him could not provide evidence. "The report was presented at the parliament yesterday. I knew what evidence would be like, now the cooperative scam is over. The subject goes from the cooperatives to the Gokha media".     

Lamichhane said that he has now realized that they should not have joined the government.     

On the first day of the national meet today, acting general secretary and chief of the organization department Kabindra Burlakoti will present the organizational report.     

The political report of President Lamichhane will be presented tomorrow. The meeting will announce the party's national campaign and fix the date for the first general convention. More than 1,500 delegates from across the country are participating in the gathering.     

 Various reports and proposals will be discussed today. On the first day, reports related to economic, disciplinary and parliamentary affairs will also be submitted after 'reporting' from all the provinces.     

Today, the agenda is to present proposals regarding constitution amendment, policy-ideology, values, candidates' club and leadership academy.     

On the second day of the meeting, group discussions will be held on all the reports and proposals presented.
