Kathmandu, July 1 : Today’s session of the Standing Committee meeting of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) primarily concentrated its discussions on two issues: Prime Minister’s claim that India and leaders within the party were planning covertly to oust him and the registration of an application in the Election Commission to establish a separate party named CPN (UML).

It may be noted that Prime Minister and party Chair KP Sharma Oli, in his address to a programme held in commemoration of Communist leader Madan Bhandari few days back, said India was working to topple him down from the government and party’s leaders were involved in the effort.

Similarly, the EC had reportedly received an application two days ago for the registration of the party. According to party Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, today’s sessions mainly went through the discussions about the above mentioned two issues.

Yogesh Bhattarai, Leelamani Pokhrel, Matrika Prasad Yadav, Nanda Kumar Prasai, and invitee member Peshal Kumar Budathoki delivered their views in the meeting. The meeting will continue at 11:00 am tomorrow.

The meeting kicked off on June 24 and Nepal-India border issues and possible ways for the resolution, overall review of government’s performance, ongoing COVID-19 crisis and its control and treatment, remaining task of the party unification and Millennium Challenge Corporation among others are the agenda of the meeting.
