Nepali Congress Central Committee Announces 8-Point Resolution on Political and Economic Issues

Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress Central Working Committee meeting has released an 8-point decision covering contemporary political issues.

The meeting, chaired by President Gagan Kumar Thapa, decided to effectively play the role of the main opposition in Parliament while supporting the government's positive initiatives. The Congress also stated that it will not compromise on democratic values, freedom of expression, and the rule of law.

The meeting expressed concern over the shrinking space for freedom of expression and warned the government against controlling social media under the guise of regulation. Furthermore, the government's attention was drawn to upholding the rule of law, ensuring impartial investigations, and maintaining 'due process'.

The party demanded the formation of an empowered independent commission for asset investigation, arguing that the current structure lacks sufficient autonomy and requires reconsideration.

Concluding that the report of the commission led by Gauri Bahadur Karki is incomplete, one-sided, and selective, the party demanded a separate high-level investigation into the events of Bhadra 24.

Similarly, the government has been urged to reduce taxes and provide VAT concessions on petroleum products to control price hikes and provide relief to students.

The meeting approved reports regarding sister organizations and diaspora-based public relations committees, and also decided to proceed with the renewal of active memberships and the distribution of new memberships.
