Nepal Student Union Faction Demands Clarity from Nepali Congress President

Kathmandu. Expressing concern over organizational and ideological confusion within the Nepal Student Union (NSU), a group identifying as 'NSU 12th General Convention Supporters' has demanded the Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa to clarify the party's official stance on the leadership dispute and structural ambiguities within the union, which have reportedly caused disappointment among students.

The group submitted a memorandum outlining four demands, citing serious questions about the organization's future direction. The memorandum calls for the public disclosure of a clear 'roadmap' regarding the date, process, and preparation for the regular convention of the NSU.

When will the party formally discuss and advance the decision-making process regarding the autonomous and automated model proposed by the NSU's Senate meeting? What is the party's official stance on the government's decision to abolish student organizations? The memorandum also demands the public clarification of the party's clear opinion in favor of student movements and organizational freedom.

What will be the future of student movements according to the changed political and educational environment? The group has also urged the public disclosure of the party's clear ideological and policy perspective on its future direction and strategy.

The memorandum states, 'For the strengthening of the Nepal Student Union, ideological clarity, and democratic practice, the party must take these questions seriously.'

Student leaders have warned that if the party does not expedite timely planning and necessary decision-making processes, the organization will further deteriorate. Leaders including Amrit Karki, Pramod Rai, and Pushkar Shahi submitted the memorandum to the party office's acting chief secretary Krishna Prasad Dulal.
