Former President Bhandari and Former Vice President Pun Active in Party Politics

Kathmandu. Challenging the spirit and sentiment of the Janji movement, former President Bidya Devi Bhandari and former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun 'Pasang' have become active in party politics.

Former President Bhandari, who has served as the head of state, the country's highest position, announced her return to active politics in the CPN-UML on June 14 last year, coinciding with Madan Bhandari Jayanti. However, the door to active politics was closed when the Central Committee, at the proposal of Chairman KP Sharma Oli, decided to keep Bhandari's membership renewal 'pending'.
