In the meting, Central Working Committee (CWC) member Narahari Acharya said the NC must opt for republican set up prior to six months the constituent assembly polls take place.

During the meeting leaders from various districts and sister organizations of NC sought the party leadership’s attention towards being clear about the future agendas of the party.

Likewise, the meeting has expressed its solidarity towards the agitating Nepal 1 journalists who are on fast-unto death strike demanding appointment letters, and effective management, among others.

The district chiefs Sunday spoke about the current political issues and briefed the meeting about the situations in their respective districts.

As all the district heads haven’t finished speaking, the meeting which was scheduled to conclude Sunday will be extended for a day, NC sources said.
