General Secretary Paudel: We Aim to Preserve History Digitally, Not Erase It

April 19, Kathmandu — Nepali Congress General Secretary Pradeep Paudel stated that the party’s intention is not to erase history but to preserve it securely in digital format.

Addressing an event held in Kathmandu on Sunday, he compared the process of updating party membership to filling out a bank’s Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation.

Paudel emphasized making party members accountable by having them take an oath, thereby strengthening their commitment.

“We are not trying to erase history, but rather aiming to safeguard it digitally so that it neither burns with fire nor washes away with water,” he said. “Details such as when a member joined, how long they were imprisoned, and their contributions to the party will no longer be kept in loose papers but securely stored in a digital system complete with photographs.”

He noted that internal conflicts within the party and disputes related to the special general convention have been resolved by the courts and the Election Commission. He urged party members to abandon any arrogance rooted in ‘victory or defeat’.

Looking ahead to the upcoming 15th General Convention scheduled from October 2 to 5, Paudel stated, “Our focal point now is the 15th General Convention. We will adopt maximum flexibility to include everyone.”
