Jul 19, Kathmandu - The faction led by outgoing Nepali Congress Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba has announced plans to organize a separate program for B.P. Memorial Day, coinciding with the main event scheduled by the party's establishment faction.

While the main faction prepares for various activities including a Green Run and other programs, Deuba's group is set to hold its own event in Kathmandu. According to a press conference held today at the party’s contact office in Chundevi, leader Meen Bahadur Bishwakarma disclosed that the 44th B.P. Memorial Day will be observed grandly on Shrawan 6 at the Praya Bhawan in Kathmandu.

"Decisions have been made to commemorate the 44th B.P. Memorial Day of our founding father and first elected Prime Minister, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, with a grand program," Bishwakarma stated. "A organizing committee led by former Vice President Prakash Man Singh has been formed to manage the event."

He further mentioned that details such as the date, time, and location of the upcoming national gathering will be announced during this program. The Deuba faction, which did not participate in the recent Paush month’s special congress, has already conducted provincial conventions and is now preparing for a national assembly.

The leader also revealed that within the month of Ashad, the party is planning to host a 'National Gathering' in Kathmandu to review the internal disputes and current political situation.

The Deuba faction criticized the ongoing efforts for party unity, alleging that the leadership has been pushing forward unilaterally without fostering genuine reconciliation.

"Despite multiple discussions aimed at unity, the leadership has not shown the necessary flexibility and readiness, making consensus impossible. We cannot say when the disputes will end, but hope for reconciliation remains. With this belief, talks and negotiations continue, but so far, they have neither been meaningful nor productive. Therefore, we have concluded that the prospects for unity are weakening," Bishwakarma added.
