Kathmandu, June 3:

The students union close to CPN (2006 BS) led by Keshav Nepal, that has already merged with CPN Maoists, today formally merged with All Nepal National Independent Students Union- Revolutionary.

Presidents of both the students unions formally announced the merger at a press conference organised here today. Krishna Tiwari, president of All Nepal National Free Students Union (Sixth), said some five members of its secretariat would get positions in the central committee of ANNISU-R.

Tiwari said merging among the sister organisations of the then CPN (2006 BS) is on after the mother party merger.

Earlier the party’s teachers’ organisation had merged and the merger of cultural organisation and women’s organisation are in the offing.
