Women gathering kicks off in
capital
KATHMANDU, May-28(RSS)- Former Prime Minister
Krishna Prasad Bhattarai inaugurated a two-day National Women’s gathering organized
by the Nepal Women’s Association here today.
On the occasion, Bhattarai said since the history
of the Nepal Women’s Association is full of struggle since its very birth, it
continues to struggle for its rights and interests.
Former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba observed
that it is not proper for the congress party which has a long history of its own to
interfere with its own sister organization, adding that the whole organization should not
be sacrificed at the altar of whims and caprices.
There is a situation of fear and terror within the
party and now it is not possible to stay within the party with self-dignity and
self-esteem, he said and spoke of the need for the party to move ahead in a civilized
manner.
NC Central Member and MP Bijaya Kumar Gachchhadar
expressed the view that the time has come to evaluate whether there is any trace of
value-based politics in the party.
MP PL Singh remarked that the Nepal Women’s
Association since its inception has been cooperating with the Nepali Congress in every
struggle.
MP Prakash Man Singh observed that a non-democratic
trend is gaining currency within the Nepali Congress which fought for democracy.
Various other speakers including MP Omkar Prasad
Shrestha and former minister Bimalendra Nidhi also expressed their views at the function
chaired by Association President Kanta Singh.
