NRNA files complaint in police

Kathmandu, Nov. 1

The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) has said that it has filed a complaint against the Rajendra Kumar (RK) Sharma group, alleging obstruction of the regular operations at the NRNA secretariat and the harassment of Mahesh Basnet, a leader of CPN-UML. Basnet had visited the office to extend an invitation to the newly elected President of the Association's International Coordination Committee, Dr. Badri KC, and other office bearers.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the NRNA stated that RK Sharma and his team have rejected the results of the election held before Dashain and persistently disrupted the normal functioning of the Association, causing disturbances in the office and among the staff.

The statement reads, "They have engaged in highly inappropriate activities, such as mentally harassing employees by compelling them to work according to their own interests and sending letters to close the bank accounts used for the Association's routine operations. The secretariat staff is unable to physically attend the office and carry out their tasks."

The police and administration have been informed about this situation, and the police have increased their monitoring of the situation.

Similarly, the Sharma-led group, including Buddhi Sagar Subedi, Gangadhar Gautam, Thakur Prasad Dhungana, and others, also harassed UML leader Basnet on Tuesday when he visited the secretariat to invite the newly elected office bearers to a tea party organised by the CPN-UML, as stated by the NRNA in their statement.

"We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at the association's central office. In this regard, we have filed a complaint with the Nepal Police and have called for an investigation and action against the culprits," read the statement.
