DAMAULI, Sept. 9: Acting President of Nepali Congress (NC) Sushil Koirala has said the existence of NC would be no more in the day when BP’s thoughts and socialism were ignored.
At a party members meet organized here today by NC, Tanahun on the occasion of 95the birth anniversary of people’s leader BP Koirala, he highlighted BP’s ideals and principles in the current context.

Acting President Koirala also urged party cadres to work together for the protection of peace and democracy.
Similarly in Lalitpur, Vice-president of Nepali Congress (NC) Ram Chandra Poudel said the army of a particular party could not protect the country and country people so that Maoist army should not be integrated into Nepal Army (NA).
At a garland-offering function organized by the NC on the occasion of 95th birth anniversary of people’s leader BP Koirala at party central office at Sanepa, he claimed the nation would go towards civil war if Maoist army was integrated into NA.
Stating that neither of any agreements from 12-point understanding so far hs not stated about the integration of Maoist combatants into NA, former Minister Poudel accused Maoist of breaching consensus-based politics and showing their authoritarian tendency.
He said they are not in favour of bringing down the Maoist-led government and made it clear that they would play the role of strong opposition.
We would show the role model of opposition in democracy, he added.
NC founder people’s leader BP Koirala was the great leader endowed with genius to bring about epoch-making political changes in the country, Poudel said, adding, he would never forget BP’s substantial role in socialism movement.
