KATHMANDU: AUGUST 24 – District presidents of senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel’s faction have agitated demanding to make public the list of active members of the Nepali Congress.

They have staged a sit-in protest saying that the active membership dispute has not been made public. Participants in the sit-in have demanded to see the names of all the activists listed. According to Nuwakot District President Jagadishwar Narasimha KC, the sit-in was called as the ultimatum to make public the list of active members was correct.

Some central members of the Nepali Congress have also expressed support for the district president’s sit-in. Congress leaders Gagan Thapa, Arjun Narasingha K.C. and others had joined the sit-in. Thapa said that the errors seen in making the list of active members public should be rectified. Similarly, KC is of the view that the leadership should address legitimate demands.

Earlier, the district chairpersons had demanded that the active membership list should be made public by 22 July, the membership list should be finalized after scrutiny as per the rules and regulations and the election directive should be amended so that all the district chairpersons come together in the election process.
