SIRAHA: Nepali Congress (NC) President Gagan Thapa has announced that his party would take all sides and communities together to steer the country towards progress.

NC is shouldering the responsibility to take diverse thoughts and sectors onboard in the journey to national development, President Thapa reiterated, asserting NC’s role vital to navigate present difficulty.

Addressing a cadres’ gathering at Lahan in the district on Tuesday, a responsible political force like NC is essential. “The NC has come up with new vision and resolution. The party does not provoke nor causes dispute and hatred, as it is time to be unified,” he stressed.

The NC President called on the people to vote for NC candidates to accomplish this task. He reminded the roles of late BP Koirala and GP Koirala for the establishment in peace in the country. Peaceful politics is the national characteristics of NC, according to him.

He viewed, “Public disenchantment is rife. People have seen corruption as a major cause of every problem. If leaders are clean, corruption can be wiped out from the country.” It is time to think over what citizens are complaining for to restore their trust in leaders, parties and system.

The President suggested the party cadres to be aware of the elements that stoke problems for political advantage by cashing in public aggression.

Earlier, he had garlanded a statue of Ramesh Mahato, the first martyr of the Madhes movement.

Similarly, at a programme in Dharan, President Thapa underscored the urgency of activities focused on good governance and corruption control.
