The two-day extended meeting of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) concluded in Sauraha on Saturday night with a decision to draw the attention of the parties and the government to prepare the basis for making the March 5 elections to the House of Representatives free, fair and fearless.
The meeting has also called on all political parties to actively participate in the election process to further strengthen democratic practices. All party structures, members and well-wishers have been urged to engage in public opinion formation so that the outcome of the announced election is in the supreme interest of the country and the people and in favor of the party.
A statement issued by RSP spokesperson Manish Jha has also demanded an impartial investigation into the incidents that took place during the Gen-Z protests and action against those found guilty.
Since polarization is inevitable for the establishment of a strong alternative political force in the country, the meeting has made a special request to the Central Committee to emphasize dialogue, consensus, and cooperation with like-minded transformative forces.
The meeting discussed the latest overall situation in the country, political developments, the announced election of members of the House of Representatives, issues of people's livelihood, and the internal life of the party and the current workload.
A total of 512 delegates invited from across the country took part in the extended meeting where Acting president DP Aryal presented a political report, Vice president Dr Swarnim Wagle presented the concept of the election manifesto, general secretary Kabindra Burlakoti presented an organizational report, joint general secretary Bipin Kumar Acharya presented a candidate selection outline, and secretariat member Deepak Bohara presented a report on the signature campaign.
