Dahal-Nepal faction slams EC for writing to it to stake claims for recognition

The CPN faction of Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal has taken exception to the Election Commission for writing to it to stake claims for official recognition.

Writing a response to the Election Commission's letter on Tuesday, the faction has said it need not stake claims. Lawmaker Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, who is also a legal professional, told Setopati that the Election Commission's letter is irrelevant as the Dahal-Nepal faction is the ruling party's mainstream.
