Kathmandu, June 1 (RSS): A Nepali Congress valley level special gathering was organised under the coordination of the NC Kathmandu district working committee in the backdrop of developments in recent days within the NC party.

The special gathering was participated in by NC central members as well as officials of various party levels coming form various districts.

Addressing the gathering, NC president Girija Prasad Koirala said it is surprising that the announcement to hold general election has been made while the emergency is still on even as the local elections could not be held and added that he had told the Prime Minister to impose emergency only after discussions if he was to do so and not before that.

The need at present for the Nepali Congress is that of harmony, patience, morality and understanding within the party.

President Koirala said we should be alert in safeguarding democracy and the party at this hour forgetting anything else.

The gathering was held under the chairmanship of Kathmandu district working committee president of NC Tirtha Man Dangol.
