Kathmandu. A meeting of the Central Disciplinary Committee of the Nepali Congress has taken action against Purna Bahadur Tamang (Kanchharam), the district president of Ramechhap. A meeting of the NC held today decided to suspend Tamang from serving as the president of Ramechhap district.

According to the decision dated April 19, Tamang had accepted that he had made a misleading and unsubstantiated statement against the party leadership with an intention to clarify on the charge of breach of discipline.

A meeting of the committee convened by the committee’s coordinator Taraman Gurung on April 15 decided to put the decision on this issue on hold as per the decision of the NC Central Discipline Committee on April 15 seeking clarification on former acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka.
