Nepali Congress Leader Dr. Shekhar Koirala Comments on Disciplinary Action Against Purna Bahadur Khadka

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress leader Dr. Shekhar Koirala has stated that he was saddened to hear the disciplinary committee's decision to caution Purna Bahadur Khadka, but emphasized that there is no reason to be afraid.

Speaking at the meeting of the central working committee elected from the party's 14th General Convention held at Smart Hotel in Maharajgunj, leader Dr. Koirala said, 'I was saddened to hear the decision of the disciplinary committee meeting to caution Purna Bahadur-ji. However, there is no reason to be afraid of this.'

The disciplinary committee meeting held at the party's central office in Sanepa on Wednesday decided to caution Khadka for allegedly creating a fake letterhead and issuing an unauthorized statement by mentioning responsibilities he did not hold.

Dr. Koirala stressed the need to move forward by including all factions. Noting that he had entered the election despite knowing he would lose, he remarked that Balendra Shah became Prime Minister by speaking for only 27 minutes throughout the entire election. 'He spoke for the longest, 6 minutes, in Janakpur. He became Prime Minister by speaking for 27 minutes throughout the election,' said Dr. Koirala.

He also expressed that while a special general convention should have been held based on the central committee's decision, it was not done because no one listened. 'A special general convention should have been held by the decision of the central committee,' said Dr. Koirala, 'But no one listened. Those who do not listen are here as well as there.'

He stated that Nepal is in an extremely difficult situation and that there are attempts to destroy the country itself. Koirala alleged that Congress leaders are also being used in this. 'Various maneuvers are underway to destroy Nepal. Our friends are also being used in that,' said Dr. Koirala. Koirala did not disclose who was being used.

He concluded that if all forces in Nepal can be preserved, then Nepal will be saved, and they themselves will also be saved.
