Nepali Congress Central Committee Rejects President Gagan Thapa's Resignation Offer

Kathmandu. A proposal to reject the resignation of Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa was presented to the Central Working Committee on Friday.

Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma, who presided over the meeting, included the point to reject President Thapa's resignation in the preliminary review report of the House of Representatives election.

Vice President Sharma wrote under the title 'Proposal to Reject the President's Resignation', 'In politics, there is something called a 'honeymoon period', especially the first hundred days after someone takes charge of leading the government. During that 'warm-up' period, one can gauge the positive or negative indications of their work, but a complete test and overall review cannot be done. Reviewing from that perspective, it is not rational or fair to an individual to seek results of a grand victory within a short period of fifty days since the party got new leadership from a special general convention. Furthermore, it is not just to the organization for the President to relinquish the command that steers the party out of adversity towards favorable conditions. Despite this, highly valuing the President's feeling of accepting moral responsibility, this meeting deems the profound responsibility of managing the situation as the foremost moral duty, and therefore decides to reject the resignation tendered by President Gagan Thapa from his post.'
