The dissident faction of Nepal Students’ Union (NSU) has threatened to form a parallel central committee if the existing committee continued working against the NSU principles and did not withdraw the action taken against seven students, who were alleged of vandalizing NSU central office on March 16.

Organising a press conference in the capital on Suday, Bikash Koirala, former central member said the number of students not satisfied with the present working committee are increasing every day.

“Whoever dared to go against the existing committee and criticised the party’s wrong doings have been thrown out citing various reasons, so we will be left with no alternative but to form a parallel NSU central committee to challenge the existing one if it continues to go beyond the NSU bylaws,” said Koirala.

Earlier, the NSU central committee had expelled seven students: Bikash Koirala, former central member, Ramesh Karki, former central member, Lila Baldev Dahal (Kaka) – NSU Saraswati Campus unit president, Ramesh Upreti, NSU Saraswati Campus former president, Subodh Acharya, former vice president of Tri-Chandra Campus Free Students’ Union, Shivaraj Fago, NSU Patan Multiple Campus secretary, Anil Khanal and former member of NSU Kathmandu district, from the union.
