KATHMANDU: The ruling Nepali Congress Party this week sought explanations from two ministers and a central committee member for controversial public remarks, party sources said.
Explanations have been demanded from Communications Minister Jayaprakash Prasad Gupta, Social Welfare Minister Rajendra Kharel and Narahari Acharya. Gupta said Party president Girija Perasad Koirala is joyous in PM Sher Bahadur Deuba’s woes.
Kharel said Koirala and the only surviving founding member of the party Krishna Prasad Bhattarai were senile and should quit active politics.
