The dispute over the selection of representative’s in the Nepal Students’ Union (NSU) general convention which led to the disruption of its close door session set to begin in Chitwan yesterday was settled the same day after Nepali Congress leaders including party president and Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala himself intervened.

The dispute was settled after NC leaders and negotiators convinced student leaders to merge parallel NSU committees in nine different districts and select new leaders as representatives for the ongoing general election.

With the dispute settled, the stalled closed door session of the student body is all set to be held from today.

The dispute had arose after district committees of Nawalparasi and the eastern districts of Morang, Sunsari, Solukhombu, Dhankuta, Sankhuwasabha and Okhalduhundga sent more representatives than the set quota.
