Nepali Congress committed to realise Koirala’s dream

KATHMANDU - Nepali Congress (NC) parliamentary party leader Ram Chandra Poudel has said the NC leadership is committed to work together as envisioned by late Girija Prasad Koirala.

Talking to the reporters after the first parliamentary party meeting since the death of party president Koirala, Poudel said: “Since the high level political mechanism was led by Koirala, his party will continue to lead it even after his demise.

“Some more parties will be included into the mechanism,” Nepalnews quoted him as saying.

Poudel said the party reaffirmed commitment to materialise Koirala’s dream of taking the peace process to a logical end and drafting new Constitution within the timeframe.

He further said the solidarity and faith expressed by the general public through their presence during the funeral procession has shouldered additional responsibilities on his party.

Meanwhile, a meeting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) has passed a condolence note on the death of Koirala, who was also its member.

Constituent Assembly Chairman Subas Nemwang tabled the motion, which stated that writing the new Constitution and taking the peace process to a logical conclusion would be true homage to the late Koirala. (ANI)
