KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress district Presidents on Saturday demanded amendment to the party statute within the next three months following the conclusion of the ongoing 13th general convention.

Taking part in the second day of the closed-door session today, they have insisted on reforming the party and amending the statute in line with the new Constitution.

At the closed-door session, Terathun NC President, Govinda Dhungana, called for amending the party statute within the next three months in the interest of the party and not only in the interest of the party’s central level.

Sunsari NC President, Rajiv Koirala, slammed the party’s policy and programmes as being a mere formality and questioned the contradictory policy that continues to uphold indivisibility of the country in the federal setup.

Meanwhile, Dhading NC President, Ramesh Dhamala, stressed on necessity for a thorough transformation in the party for country’s socio-economic change.

Likewise, Kaski NC President, Krishna KC, said the party must appropriately address the concerns of the NC leaders and activists who were victimised and killed during the Maoist insurgency through its policy and programmes.

The district Presidents attending today’s closed-door session vented ire over the minimal participation of the central officials and members on the stage.
