KATHMANDU, Sept 22: Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala said on Thursday the party’s four sister wings were dissolved as per the party’s statutory provisions.



She said this talking to reporters at Simara airport, Bara, on Thursday. “It is ridiculous to go on a hunger strike demanding the restoration of the dissolved committees,” Koirala added. [break]



“The dissolution is the party president’s prerogative . It happens according to the party statute,” Koirala said. “The strike should immediately be stopped or else a negative message will go to the public.”



Protesting the party establishment’s decision to scrap the four sister organizations, the NC faction led by senior party leader Sher Bahadur Deuba has been staging hunger strikes all across the country.



Late Tuesday, the NC had dissolved four of the party’s sister wings, namely Nepal Tarun Dal, Nepal Mahila Sangh, Nepal Adibasi Janajati Sangh and Prajatantra Senani Sangh.
