Nepali Congress Banke office has been padlocked on Thursday. Leaders and cadres of Banke Constituency No. 1 have locked the door due to membership dispute. The party office has been padlocked saying that 239 fake memberships have been added. Constituency No. 1 President Madhav Ram Khatri said that there was a membership dispute here saying that it had distributed membership alone.
District leader Poshan KC has said that the lock will be opened only after the cancellation of the fake membership names.
