Nepali Congress Central Disciplinary Committee to Withdraw Clarification Notice Issued to Purna Bahadur Khadka

Kathmandu. The Central Disciplinary Committee of the Nepali Congress is preparing to withdraw the clarification notice issued to outgoing acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka. The decision is expected to be finalized during the committee meeting scheduled for today (Monday) at 3:00 PM.

Disciplinary Committee coordinator Taraman Gurung hinted that the clarification would be withdrawn. 'Since they have agreed to accept the Supreme Court's verdict, it has become necessary to discuss the clarification we issued,' Gurung told Ratopati. 'I have called a committee meeting this afternoon for that purpose.'

He also mentioned that party president Gagan Thapa had spoken with committee members regarding Khadka's clarification. However, he noted that he was unable to participate in those discussions as he left the party office in Sanepa early on Sunday. 

The disciplinary committee had issued a seven-day clarification notice to Khadka on Baisakh 2, alleging that he had misused the party's letterhead to issue a statement while citing a position he did not hold. 

The Congress leadership has concluded that the justification for the clarification has ended, as the Supreme Court has recognized the leadership elected through the special general convention. On Sunday evening, President Thapa visited Khadka at his residence in Golfutar. 

Khadka had consistently maintained that the disciplinary committee's decision to seek a clarification from him was ridiculous and meaningless.
