Sudurpaschim, March 10: Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has instructed party leaders and cadres to resolve mutual disagreements and misunderstandings and focus on strengthening the party organization.

During his address to the party’s first Sudurpashim provincial conference in Dhangadhi on Monday, he defended the formation of the incumbent coalition government, citing that it was the need of the hour and demanded by the parliament’s equation.

“No single party could secure a majority in the election as the nation has implemented the inclusive and proportional electoral system, mandating political parties to ally in the government formation,” he said, pressing the need for cooperation and unity within the political competency.

Also speaking at the program, Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka urged party cadres and leaders to highlight the good deeds of the party to generate people’s trust and belief in the party. Party General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa said there have been grievances from the masses that despite changes in the country’s system, the status of citizens has remained the same.

“Dissatisfactions at the civic level should be addressed.” Party’s other General Secretary Bishwa Prakash Sharma said mass welfare is possible from the existing system, and the present time demands the party to act with patience, unity, and maturity.

Party leader and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak said, “A ploy against the system and the Constitution is a conspiracy against the Nepali Congress.” He warned forces of ‘resistance’ to change to not take a tolerant and liberal approach, the features of Nepali democracy, as weaknesses of the system.
