Lalitpur: CPN (UML) Second Statute Convention is underway at the Godavari Sunrise Convention Centre in Lalitpur since Friday. In the second day today, Chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli urged delegates attending the party’s ongoing Second Statute Convention to present, if any differing views or concerns regarding the Statute Amendment Proposal, during the group discussion.
According to National News Agency Nepal, Oli emphasized that voicing differing opinions during group discussions would facilitate effective time management. This statement was in response to Standing Committee member Karna Bahadur Thapa, who expressed a desire to discuss the proposal just as group divisions for discussions were about to begin on Friday, the opening day of the convention. Subsequently, Thapa, after obtaining permission from Oli, distributed pamphlets outlining his opinions on the proposed amendments.
The key presentations on the first day included the Political Report by party Chair Oli, the Statute Amendment Proposal by Vice President Bishnu Prasad Paudel, and the Organizational Proposal by General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel. On the second day of the convention, the reports were presented by party Central Election Commission Chair Dr. Bijaya Subba, Account Commission Chair Dr. Pushpa Kandel, and Discipline Commission Chair Keshab Badal.
Meanwhile, a seven-member committee has been formed under the convenorship of party Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai to write the contemporary political proposal. In the closed session of the Convention today, the party Chair made this announcement. The Convention is scheduled to conclude on Sunday.
