Kathmandu, July 7:

Citing “unfavourable climatic conditions,” the dissidents in the Rastriya Prajatantra Party have deferred their general convention, which they were supposed to hold on July 13 and 14.

This, observers say, has “averted” a possible split in the party. Confirming the postponement, party central working committee member Bhuwan Pathak said: “We have decided to postpone

the convention following immense pressure from the convention representatives, CWC members and district presidents.” “The row within the RPP has ended now,” said party general secretary Deepak Bohara. However, Pathak claimed that they have not “given up” their demand for a general convention.
