Dissident NSU men demand leadership change

A group of Nepal Student Union (NSU) activists staged demonstration in front of the venue of Nepali Congress central working committee (CWC) meeting in Baluwatar, demanding immediate change in the current NSU leadership.

The protesting NSU men demanded that the NC leadership call the general convention of the NSU to choose a new central committee. They have accused the current leadership of failing to play an active role in favour of the parent party in the recent elections.

The NSU dissidents had staged similar protest at the NC's CWC meeting venue last week also.

The CWC meeting, which resumed in Baluwatar this morning, is discussing the party's position regarding the incoming government - most likely be led by the Maoists; the grievances coming from the party ranks over the selection of candidates for proportional seats; and revamping of the leadership in the aftermath of the party's electoral loss. nepalnews.com mk May 11 08
