Purna Bahadur Khadka: Party Unity Key Lies with Leadership

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress former acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka has said that the key to maintaining internal unity within the party lies in the hands of the leadership. Speaking at a program organized at Pragya Pratishthan on the occasion of BP's 44th memorial day, Khadka, pointing to the leadership that emerged from the special general convention, expressed the view that the party cannot unite unless President Gagan Thapa wishes it to.

However, he clarified that they would continue to work towards uniting the party until the last moment. Leader Khadka, citing historical examples, mentioned that the responsibility of making decisions that determine the future of the party rests with the leadership. 'Earlier, Girija Prasad Koirala made the historic decision to unite the divided Congress,' he said, 'Today, the decision to unite or divide the party is in your hands, Gaganji. The party cannot unite unless you wish it to, so I urge you to make a decision for unity.'
