KATHMANDU, JAN 31 - A separate informal meeting of Nepali Congress (NC) lawmakers held at NC senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba's residence in Budhanilkantha has urged that the party should resolve all the pending issues, including the row over dissolution of sister wings and appointments in the party's key posts through consensus.
Over a dozen leaders close to Deuba who spoke during Tuesday's meeting urged Deuba not to agree on piecemeal solution to all the pending issues that have been plaguing the party for long. NC leadership, however, has long been averse to the idea of resolving all issues at one go. The issues concerning election of the dissolved sister wings, appointments in the Parliament Board, which has authority to distribute tickets during elections, appointments in the vacant posts at the Central Committee and other departments of the party should all be resolved together on consensus.
The leaders also made it clear that there is no alternative to consolidating the unity in the party and party President Sushil Koirala had a major role to play.
Deuba himself and leaders including Bimelendra Nidhi, Minendra Rijal, Purna Bahadur Khadka and Binaya Dhoj Chand expressed their views on the party's internal issues and the larger peace process. They said NC should take a more assertive role in the peace process and statute writing. The meeting is said to continue on Wednesday also.
