CPN Leader Barsman Pun Urges Rastriya Swatantra Party to Commit to Federal Democratic Republic

Chitwan. Nepali Communist Party (NCP) leader Barsman Pun has urged the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) to express a clearer and stronger commitment to the federal democratic republic with social justice.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the RSP's first national convention in Bharatpur on Sunday, Pun said that the RSP, as a new political force, has gained significant public support in a short period, and the country has a special interest and expectation from it.

He stated that the leadership, ideology, strategy, and direction determined by the convention would have an impact on national politics, making its significance special.

"The entire country is watching this convention of a ruling party with vast public mandate. Therefore, many eyes are on your convention, on what kind of leadership, ideology, strategy, and direction you will determine from this convention, as it will affect the entire national life. You are going nationwide in full organizational form for the first time through this convention," Pun said, "There are some differences between you and us. These differences are at some level of suspicion, some policy-related, some practical, and some stylistic."

"We do not doubt your intentions, but we want to see a higher level of commitment from you towards the federal democratic system with social justice. I believe this historic convention will succeed in dispelling the questions, accusations, and suspicions regarding issues like the constitution, democracy, and established systems that are on you. I express my best wishes that this first convention will provide you with ideological and organizational direction and clarity," he said.
