Summary
Nepali Congress' internal conflict deepens as the disciplinary committee issues a seven-day show-cause notice to Acting President Purna Bahadur Khadka, amidst parallel claims of legitimacy and an upcoming Supreme Court hearing.
Key Points
- The Nepali Congress disciplinary committee issued a seven-day show-cause notice to Acting President Purna Bahadur Khadka for allegedly unauthorized actions contrary to party statute.
- Khadka rejects the notice, citing the ongoing Supreme Court case challenging the legitimacy of the Special General Convention that appointed the disciplinary committee.
