The meeting also appointed Pampha Bhusal as the in-charge of the Prabash Province Committee (Middle East), Laxman Panta as the in-charge for India, and TB Pathak as co-in-charge, and Surendra Kumar Karki as in-charge for the Europe-America Committee.
Hitman Shakya is chosen as the in-charge of the Special Province Committee, and Yesodha Subedi as co-in-charge. Co-in-charges for some provinces are yet to be decided, said Spokesperson Sapkota.
The meeting also decided that the people's representatives at the federal, provincial, and local levels will continue to discharge their duties as per their elected responsibilities.
The meeting also changed the date for launching the party's Terai Madhes National Awareness Campaign from March 14 to March 28, citing a lack of time for preparations, said Sapkota.
Similarly, the Himal-Pahad-Terai (Mountain-Hill-Terai) National Unity campaign will be launched from April 27. The meeting also discussed contemporary political issues such as concerns regarding loan shark victims and dairy farmers, among others, and drew the government's attention to resolving them conclusively, said Sapkota.
Meanwhile, the party's Deputy General-Secretary Janardan Sharma expressed his dissent on the division of responsibilities in the Standing Committee meeting.
He expressed reservations about the proposed division of responsibilities, arguing, "The division of responsibilities is not in accordance with the purpose of the party's formation. It seems that the responsibilities were delegated with the hangover of the legislative session."
