Kathmandu, Jan. 15: Minister for Finance and Defence Mahesh Acharya has said that the decision about any rift in a political party arising out of various reasons should be accepted once it is taken by the party leadership after holding discussions.

Minister Acharya, speaking at a symposium hosted by the free students union at Balmiki Campus here today, said that Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala has accommodated those having different views within the party and the determination to cover all the factions for moving forward will provide new dynamism to the party.

Stating that the present government would not resort to blood for blood but instead move ahead ideologically to defeat violence, he said, “as no one in the country was for violence, those unleashing violence from the jungles would be exposed among the people”.

Former NC Central Member Bhu Bikram Nembang said that the leadership and the cadres should stand united and abide by the results of the general convention.

President of Nepal Tarun Dal Bal Krishna Khand, former Nepal Students Union President Dhana Raj Gurung and a host of other speakers also expressed their views at the function chaired by president of the Free Students Union Balmiki Campus unit Badri Aryal.
