Gururaj Ghimire, who was elected as the General Secretary of the Nepali Congress at its special general convention, has claimed that there is a record that only 29 of the delegates who signed the petition to organize the special general convention withdrew their names.
Ghimire has called it 'political propaganda', stating that serious attention has been drawn to some of the issues raised by Sher Bahadur Deuba faction's acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka after reaching the Election Commission.
The Khadka-led team has claimed to have submitted proof of the withdrawal of the signatures of 885 representatives to the Election Commission.
'It seems surprising that the then acting president, who was present in person and understood the demand for a special general convention, said that he had only heard rumors about the special general convention,' Ghimire mentioned, 'When the special general convention was demanded, there were 2488 general convention members, which is 54.58% of the total number of 4635 members.'
He also said that the withdrawal of some of the general convention delegates is illogical in the context of the special general convention being concluded, the formation of the central working committee being completed, and all the necessary documents having reached the Election Commission. 'Raising this issue after the general convention delegates have participated in the special general convention and voted or unanimously elected the leadership is just 'political propaganda,'' he said on the social network Facebook.
He argues that the then central committee had only extended its term until mid-Magh, but setting the date for the regular general convention by keeping the date 3 months after the expiry of the term of the working committee was a completely illegal act.
'It does not seem legal for the then Central Working Committee to deviate from its statutory obligations and not to make the demand for a special general convention a subject of discussion for 3 months and for the then Executive Committee to decide that a special general convention is not justified, not to follow the agenda of the regular general convention, to stop the ward convention without notice without even completing the work of active renewal and distribution, to hold a meeting of the then Executive Committee two days later and announce the date of the regular general convention after 4 months. The then Central Committee itself is a violator of the then agenda,' he said.
