Leaders and cadres of Nepal Students Union, the student wing of the main opposition party Nepali Congress, have continued their protest against the party leadership’s decision to extend the term of the Union’s executive committee. 

The dissident leaders on Thursday went to the party’s central office in Sanepa of Lalitpur today and staged a demonstration.

The party’s Central Working Committee meeting is underway at the office this afternoon.

The protesters blocked the way of party President Sher Bahadur Deuba and parliamentary party deputy leader Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar to the meeting.

The protesting leaders have demanded that the party withdraw the decision to extend the term of Nain Singh Mahar-led team as it has repeatedly failed to hold the general convention and hand over the leadership to the new elected committee.
