Singh: Creating Fear Among Workers Over Membership Renewal Is Not Appropriate

May 27, Kathmandu – Nepali Congress leader Prakash Man Singh emphasized the importance of advancing the party in line with the values and ideals established by its founding leaders.

Addressing a memorial gathering for the late regional chief Shyamnidhi Yadav of Dhanusha Constituency No. 3, Singh highlighted that establishing the rule of law within the party is a critical current necessity.

Singh stressed that under the leadership of the Nepali Congress, the party must preserve the current constitution while striving to fulfill the people’s aspirations by addressing its own weaknesses.

Discussing internal party disputes and the upcoming 15th general convention, Singh pointed out that the party is currently divided into two factions. One supports a special convention, while the other favors a regular convention. He underscored the need to make the 15th general convention a “convention of unity.”

He suggested that both sides must build trust and create a common, credible mechanism to advance the convention process.

“The main challenge today is to keep alive the traditions and values on which our respected founding leaders established the Congress,” he said. “After completing membership renewals and new registrations for the 15th convention, it is not appropriate to instill fear and anxiety among the workers again in the name of further updates.”

Warning against the misuse of technology to violate rules and processes by favoring only certain supporters, Singh cautioned that such practices would weaken the party.

He argued that to confront the current political challenges facing the country and the democratic system, the Congress must remain united.
