KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 14
National Assembly Chair Ganesh Prasad Timilsina has insisted on the need to establish the Non-Resident Nepali Association as an umbrella body of Nepalis residing abroad instead of developing it as a political wing of a political party.
Launching a book titled 'Belgium Darpan' published by the NRNA Belgium chapter here today, the NA chair was of the view that no organisation should be used as a means of fulfilling vested interests of individuals.
He urged the NRNA to start a reformation campaign from Belgium. Stating that NRNA Belgium had helped Nepal significantly in times of difficulty, be it at the time of natural hazards or COVID crisis, the NA chair pledged to play a positive role for endorsement of the Citizenship Bill from the House.
Inclusive Commission member Pushpa Timilsina stressed that any Nepali living abroad for study or work should utilise achieved knowledge and capital at home.
NRNA International Coordination Council Vice-president Arjun Kumar Shrestha said the NRNA support for Nepal's socio-economic and cultural development was memorable.
NRNA Belgium President Khadka Bahadur KC said the aim of publishing the book was to pass information on Nepali language, art and culture on to the new generation and promote the sense of love towards motherland. He vowed to take the organisation to a new height during his term.
NRNA Belgium former president Chitra Subedi, NRNA activist Rudra Sharma and NRNA Belgium member Subhas Bhatta stressed the need to end misconduct seen in the organisation lately.
