Bleak future of the NC?

The Nepali Congress (NC) has proposed to hold its 14th general convention on September 1-4, nine days after the previously announced dates amid uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The party has to organize its general assembly by mid-September as per the constitutional obligation. The convention is expected to elect new leadership from the central to the local levels.

Sher Bahadur Deuba was elected as the party president for four years during the 13th general convention held in March, 2016, He is again vying for the chair after completing his first four years term. Likewise, there seems to be other senior leaders including Bimalendra Nidhi, who are talking about competing against Deuba for the NC boss.

Time has come for the NC’s senior leaders whoever vying for the future president to seriously and sincerely contemplate the party’s political blunder in the past and to be bold enough to take the NC into its original political principle and philosophy as envisioned by late B.P.Koirala.

Having said this, the NC needs to revisit its constitution and amend it to suit the needs of the hour and growing demands of the majority of the people. It might be a huge advantage for the party if the NC leadership dares to do so even before the upcoming general convention. Otherwise, it might be an enormous political disastrous for the party as a whole in the coming days.

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...

A Legend Falls: Remembering Mountaineering Icon Nirmal Purja

The mountaineering world has lost one of its brightest, most unstoppable lights. It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I wish to express my profound grief over the tragic passing of Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, who lost his life alongside his brave crew in a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak, Pakistan. To say Nimsdai was a legend is an understatement. He was a force of nature who redefined the absolute limits of human endurance and capability. From shattering world records by climbing all 14 of the world’s highest peaks in just six months, to leading the historic first winter ascent of K2, he showed the world that "nothing is impossible." More importantly, he brought long-overdue pride, global recognition, and respect to the Nepali climbing and Sherpa community. Nims now rests eternally among the giant peaks he loved and conquered so fiercely. His fearless spirit, boundless energy, and ultimate motto—"Giving up is not in the blood"—will live on forever in the h...
