Explanation to two leaders in RPP
Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against two leaders on the charge of violating internal discipline and decorum. The party’s disciplinary committee, in a meeting held on Wednesday, sought a 72-hour clarification from Central Committee member Nanimai Acharya and Secretary of the National Democratic Women’s Organization, Chahana Adhikari (Champā). The disciplinary committee meeting, chaired by Roshan Karki, who also serves as the party’s vice president, decided to ask Acharya and Adhikari for clarification.
They are accused of acting against the party’s proportional list ahead of the House of Representatives election and creating confusion by staging a protest at the party’s central office as the election approached. The disciplinary committee also stated that it was found that they had filed complaints with the police and administration against six leaders, including Bagmati Province MP Kumari Moktan and Women’s Organization member Anju Suvedi.
They said that they went on a hunger strike opposing the nepotism and opportunism seen in the proportional list. The female leaders had gone on a hunger strike expressing dissatisfaction over the list submitted by Rastriya Prajatantra Party to the Election Commission, which included names like Saraswati Lama, wife of the party’s senior vice president Buddhiman Tamang, and leader Khushbu Oli. Currently, both Lama and Oli are Rastriya Prajatantra Party MPs through the proportional representation. It has been indicated that if the explanation is not satisfactory, there is a possibility of disciplinary action against them, including suspension or expulsion from the party.
