UML convention put off by three months

The ongoing central committee meeting of the Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) has decided to put off the party general convention by three months.

Even though the party had earlier scheduled the convention for the month of November, the CC meeting decided to hold it in February next year.

The convention will be held in Kathmandu on February 16 -21, 2009.

Despite calls by many central leaders to hold the UML convention on earlier scheduled date, the meeting decided to postpone it citing lack of preparations.

On Tuesday's meeting, UML leader Bhim Rawal apologized for his 'mistakes.' The party has also asked other two leaders Pradip Nepal and Sahana Pradhan to apologize for breaching party discipline. Both were absent during today's meeting. nepalnews.com sd Sep 09 08
