Lalitpur: CPN (UML) General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel has directed party leaders and cadres not to debate over the next leadership because the date for the national general convention of the party has not been fixed yet. Addressing a meeting of Bagmati Province In-Charge, Province Chairperson, and District Chairperson virtually at UML Headquarters, Chysal of Lalitpur, he reminded the party line that it was time to discuss rules and statutes rather than leadership.
According to National News Agency Nepal, Pokhrel reiterated, “The debate on leadership should be ceased immediately as the date of the national general convention has not been scheduled.” He requested all leaders and cadres to focus their attention on making the party’s policy and rules at a time when the date for the party’s statute general convention has already been fixed.
The political and organizational reports would be directly presented at the statute convention from the central committee, which the central committee would send to the subordinate committees for discussion, Pokhrel informed. The meeting also saw a report from the District Chairperson of Bagmati Province on membership renewal, new membership, and other activities of the party.
On the occasion, Chief of CPN (UML) Organisation Department, Kashi Nath Adhikari, Bagmati Province In-charge Dr. Rajan Bhattarai, and Chairperson Kailash Dhungel, among others, were present.
