Nain Singh Mahar proposes three options to Deuba for Nepali Congress unity

Nepali Congress leader Nain Singh Mahar has put forward three proposals to former party president Sher Bahadur Deuba aimed at mending internal rifts and strengthening party unity. Mahar presented these options during a meeting with Deuba, suggesting a clear leadership path for the party.

Mahar's first proposal centers on leadership succession, positing that either the current party president Gagan Thapa or former president Deuba should assume leadership, contingent on their mutual agreement. As an alternative, Mahar suggested that both Thapa and Deuba could step back from leadership roles, allowing a neutral third party to guide the party through its 15th general convention.

I told him that I had been holding discussions with everyone, including President Gagan Kumar Thapa, for party unity.

The third option proposed by Mahar involves a commitment from both factions to abide by the Supreme Court's decision, whatever it may be, and to subsequently work collaboratively to maintain party cohesion. Mahar indicated that he had previously shared these same three options with party president Gagan Thapa, seeking a consensus to move forward.

"I told him that I had been holding discussions with everyone, including President Gagan Kumar Thapa, for party unity," Mahar stated. He further underscored the importance of a direct dialogue between Thapa and Deuba. "He said he was making efforts to bring the party together and suggested that we move forward after the court delivers its decision," Mahar added, highlighting the ongoing efforts to bridge the divides within the party.
