Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has no immediate plans to take action against Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa, RPP President Pashupati Shumsher Rana told a regional meet of the party in Biratnagar Saturday.

“We are confident that PM Thapa will resign soon. So, we have dropped plans to take immediate action against Thapa,” Rana said in the RPP’s regional meet organized to pressure the government to quit.

“We are sure that PM Thapa will pave way for a political outlet soon,” Rana said. On PM Thapa’s explanation letter sent to the party on Friday, Rana said, the letter was an indication that the PM is giving up soon. “We have, therefore, taken the explanation positively.”

PM’s letter was in response to the RPP Disciplinary Committee’s letter to him seeking explanation as to why he did not abide by the party’s call to quit.

The RPP establishment side led by Rana has plans to organise similar regional meets also in the other four regions, party sources said. The next regional meet is being held in Nepalgunj on December 31, it is learnt. nepalnews .com mr Dec.27
