In the meeting held under the chief hospitality of Kundanraj Kafle, former general minister of the Nepali Congress and Bagmati province whip, Congress Baglung district president Jeet Sherchan, former general minister of the Nepali Congress Baldev Timalsina, former vice president Ram Prasad Adhikari, former joint minister Parameshwar Shah, former central member Nawaraj Tripathi, youth leader Indu Sharma, Leela Ball Dahal, Dipendra Chhetri, Sushil Bhatt, Deepak Ojha, Nirajan Shahi, Manish Rayamajhi, Rajkumar Upreti, Mahesh Poudel, Shubhash Ghimire, Prashant Lamichhane, Binod Baral and other hundreds of leaders and activists of the valley are said to have participated.
