RSP district Prez faces 24-hour clarification

KATHMANDU: The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has issued a clarification request to the chairperson of its Sunsari district branch, Jeevan Kumar Shrestha.

On Monday, Shrestha was given 24 hours to provide an explanation for his statement in which he referred to the party as a “company” instead of a political party.

In the clarification notice, Shrestha was questioned about his comment made on Chait 3, in response to a query in the official group of the Koshi Province committee.

When a question arose about a change in the date of a meeting from the 4th to the 8th, Shrestha had reportedly stated, “Anything can happen here. This is a company, not a party,” a statement that allegedly caused confusion and misled the party’s members.
