Pokhara, Jan. 18 : Minister for Finance and Defence Mahesh Acharya has stressed that the 10th general convention of Nepali Congress beginning here Friday should inspire the party leaders and workers to take part in a campaign to end any flaws or defects within the party in keeping with the party norms, values and ideals.
Speaking at a press meet here today, Minister Acharya said individualistic tendency, indiscipline and irresponsibility would continue to dog Nepali Congress until its leaders and workers followed a tradition of re-evaluating the disparity between the responsibilities and duties.
In reply to a query, he said any one ready to take the leadership should also be able to face hardships for the cause of the people, nation and democracy.
The party could not be dynamic and people-oriented as one calling oneself a leader was engrossed in fighting for a generation issue, throwing to the wind its ideology and programmes, he alleged.
As regards intra-party wrangle, he said that within the party, it was necessary to develop definite ways of venting one’s dissent and crisis management.
He also expressed the confidence that the 10th general convention would find simple ways of crisis management within the party.
Minister Acharya said that as all the activities the party carried out and struggles it waged for the cause of the country, democracy and people were linked with the party’s existence, the honest leader and workers of the party should make ceaseless struggle to save its entity.
