10 Bhadra, kathmandu: Nepali Congress (NC) leader Prakashman Singh has underscored the need for an able leadership within the party that could catapult the party in the institutional manner. In a virtual interaction organized by the NC’s Nepal Women’s Association (NWA) on the occasion of the 24th Memorial Day of founding president of the NWA Mangaladevi Singh here today, leader Singh cautioned that the NC leadership was looing the trust of its cadres. “It is imperative to have the right leadership in the NC to further strengthen the party because if the NC is not strong, the democratic system won’t be strong,” he asserted, Stating that only NC could spearhead the economic revolution, the former Deputy Prime Minister lauded the contribution and gallantry of late Mangaladevi, who had raised voice for the rights of the Nepali women. On the occasion, NC’s central member and spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma termed Mangaladevi as ‘revolting’ and ‘courageous’ woman. He credited the increasing number of Nepali women rising to the leadership position due to the revolution sparked by Mangaladevi. Likewise, NC central member and Department of Women chief Ishwori Neupane said that the Constitution of Nepal had ensured rights to women too. Another central member Sita Gurung viewed that the NWA should press for implementation of at least 33 per cent of inclusion of women as guaranteed by the NC’s Statute in every ward, rural municipalities, state and centre.
