Dec 01, Kathmandu - Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has directed the party to unanimously pass the agenda to hold the general convention in mid-December.

Deuba has given this instruction to the establishment-led leaders. A leader informed that Deuba gave this instruction after summoning the establishment-led leaders, who are adamant that the general convention cannot be held before the 21st Falgun elections, to his residence in Maharajgunj on Monday.

The agenda as per Deuba's instructions is being presented in the central working committee meeting to be held today.

'The chairman said that the agenda should be passed unanimously. This will stop the talk of division,' said a leader participating in the discussion, 'We put forward our points. After the chairman said that, we returned to pass it unanimously.'

Earlier, establishment-oriented leaders were adamant that the general convention should not be held before the elections. They had even prepared to fail the agenda to be presented in the meeting on Monday by gathering on Sunday.
