Nepali Congress decides to amend and pass parliamentary party statute

Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress has decided to amend and pass the parliamentary party statute.

General Secretary Pradip Paudel informed that the Central Working Committee meeting held at the party's central office in Sanepa on Friday decided to pass the parliamentary party statute with amendments.

The meeting has decided to assign the responsibility of selecting the party leader through consensus to two vice-presidents and two general secretaries.

The Congress has opposed the government's decision to abolish student organizations and trade unions.

'Student organizations and trade unions are rights granted by the constitution. Therefore, instead of reforming them, the decision to abolish them cannot be accepted,' the Congress stated.

The Congress also reminded the government that managing the landless squatters is its responsibility, stating that the government is opting for confrontation rather than dialogue to solve the issue. 'The state should not use force and create confrontation regarding the issue of landless squatters,' the Congress said while making the meeting's decisions public, 'The solution should be sought through dialogue and discussion; the government should not move towards a state of confrontation.'
