NC analyses its future role; some leaders call for leadership change
The central committee meeting of the main opposition party Nepali Congress
(NC) continued for the second day on Tuesday.
Today's meeting was mainly focused on evaluating the party's performance
in the recent times - particularly after the party was forced to stay in
the opposition following the ascent of the Maoists to power.
NC sources said some CWC members including Chiranjjvi Wagle, Binay Dhoj
Chand, Uma Adhikari, Deep Kumar Upadhyaya and Sunil Kumar Bhandari
criticised the leadership for the loss the party suffered in the
Constituent Assembly election.
The 'dissident leaders' also suggested the party to play a strong
opposition role in the CA, and demanded that the meeting of Maha Samiti be
summoned as early as possible to fix the date for the general convention
that will choose new leadership, sources added.
Senior NC leaders have said the meeting will also analyse the role to be
played by NC in the coming days in course of writing new constitution
through the Constituent Assembly (CA).
On Monday, NC leaders Narahari Acharya and Bimalendra Nidhi had submitted
separate political reports. Discussions will continue on those reports on
Wednesday.
In his report, Acharya has criticised the party leadership for failing to
bring about emotional unity between NC and NC-Democratic and has called
for Maha Samiti to discuss organisational and policy issues. nepalnews.com Aug 26 08
