Party will not split on the basis of ‘illegal’ application: JSPN

Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal said that the party will not split on the basis of ‘illegal’ application.

The Janata Samajbadi made this thing clear by issuing a statement on Monday after Ashok Rai along with nine lawmakers filed an application at the Election Commission for the registration of a new party.

Party spokesperson Manish Suman said that the party’s attention has been drawn towards the news about the party split in the media.

He claimed that the majority of the central members of the party are together.

“At a time when the Parliament session has already been called and the ordinance pertaining to party split has also been scrapped and most of the central members are committed to the party, none can split the party on the basis of ‘illegal’ application in this situation,” he said.

He urged all the central members, leaders and cadres not to go after the rumors.

Earlier on Sunday, Rai along with Pradeep Yadav, Renu Yadav, Nawal Kishor Sah Sudi, Birendra Mahato, Ranju Kumari, Hasina Khan and Sushila Shrestha among nine lawmakers had filed an application at the Election Commission for the registration of a new party.

Lawmaker Pradeep Yadav said that the new party’s name has been proposed as Janata Samaj Party.
