Former Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba has expressed his readiness to sacrifice his life for the Nepali Congress, the party that has given him the chance to serve as Prime Minister five times.
“I have already served as Prime Minister five times. I need nothing more. I am prepared to give my life for the party that made me a leader,”
Deuba stated at the opening of the Deuba faction’s Lalitpur district convention on Saturday.
Deuba Affirms Nepali Congress as a People’s Party
He emphasized that the Nepali Congress is a political party created by the people of Nepal, making it a true people’s party.
“We cannot allow anyone to take control of the Nepali Congress,” he asserted.
“The Nepali Congress belongs to the people of Nepal. Only the representatives of the people can lead it,” Deuba said amidst ongoing intra-party disputes.
Trust in the Judiciary
The former Prime Minister expressed his faith in the judiciary, confident that justice will prevail in the Rs 18 crore case.
He mentioned that he received justice during former King Gyanendra Shah’s rule and still believes in the judicial system.
“I trust the court. Although the issue of Rs 18 crore has arisen, I am sure the court will provide fair justice,” he stated.
Claims Bhadra 23-24 Incident was a Conspiracy
During his speech, he alleged that the events of Bhadra 23 and 24, 2082 were part of a conspiracy.
He accused attackers of deliberately targeting the homes of children of leaders who fought for democracy and those imprisoned for their beliefs.
He noted that several family members of the founding leaders of the Nepali Congress stand with him, including the sons of BP Koirala, Ganesh Man Singh, and Mahendra Narayan Nidhi.
He also expressed a desire to engage with the descendants of Subarna Shamsher Rana.
Commitment to Sacrifices for the Party
Reiterating his dedication to the Nepali Congress, Deuba stressed his willingness to make sacrifices for the party.
While addressing the Lalitpur district convention, he highlighted the party’s identity as a people’s organization, the internal conflicts, and ongoing legal matters.
“The party is for the people. Its future will be determined by the rightful representatives,” he concluded.
