Inaruwa, Apr. 26: Nepali Congress central member and ex-minister Vijaya Kumar Gachhadar has called upon all the Nepali Congress workers to bury their past differences and help bring all party workers to a political mainstream in order to resolve the Maoist problem plaguing the nation.

Addressing a Nepali Congress workers’ gathering here recently, Gachhadar said if the bitterness that characterised the recent election of Nepali parliamentary party leadership continued unchecked it would be greatly damaging to the party itself.

Only a norm-and value-based politics could succeed, he believed, advising the party workers to shun a tendency to take all credits for oneself and heap up blames on others.

The party workers should raise their voice against any wrong move on the part of the party leadership in order to lead it on the right track, he said.

The 10th general assembly of the party was slated to take place in October/November this year, he said, noting that but the dissolution of the election district  working committees so close to the scheduled general assembly raised doubt on whether the general assembly would be free from controversy.

The popular leaders B.P. Koirala during his own lifetime had devolved the mantle of the party leadership on the three leaders, Gachhadar recollected, suggested that now the two leaders should hand over the party leadership to the new generation. Emphasising the need for healthy competition within the party, he further said the party workers should always be on guard against obsequiousness and sycophancy.

He also vowed to launch a nation-wide campaign against irregularities and inconsistencies.

Nepali Congress Sunsari district constituency No. 2 Unit chairman Hari Lal Mehta presided over the gathering.
