Comprehensive Unity is Essential in NRNA: Vice President Sunil Sah

Kathmandu - Sunil Sah, Central Vice President of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA), has stated that comprehensive unity in the NRNA has become essential, partly due to the recent political changes in Nepal.

Sah mentioned that he is always in favor of consensus and believes that people should unite. "Given the current situation in Nepal, we need to support reconstruction efforts. 

NRNA has already supported the reconstruction of the traffic system in Kathmandu. However, if we become united, we can provide even stronger support," he said.

The unity General Convention, organized by the high-level committee formed as per the Supreme Court's mandamus, established a new executive committee led by Mahesh Kumar Shrestha in May of last year. 

"Therefore, our stance is that consensus should be reached according to the mandate of the unity General Convention. We can achieve our goals only if we work together for the implementation of NRN citizenship and for the development and prosperity of Nepal," he said.

Sah, who is a former President of NRNA-NCC USA, stated that the NCC USA has a crucial role to play in uniting the association. He further informed that he is making every possible effort to maintain unity both in the NCC and the central body.

Referring to the draft agreement prepared under the leadership of Central President Mahesh Kumar Shrestha on November 1st, Sah said it was an honest attempt to bring NRNA back to a common platform. 

He noted that the draft clearly outlines a roadmap to strengthen the association according to its core spirit as an independent, autonomous, non-political, social, and philanthropic organization.

"We must acknowledge the existence of the various committees formed after the 10th General Convention of the association and also respect the contribution of NRN activists in the past. 

Concrete steps towards institutional unity can be taken by withdrawing the court cases through mutual consent," he stated.

"NRNA is not an organization of any single individual or group; it is a common institution for Nepalis around the world. 

Therefore, there is no alternative but to unite for the supreme good of the institution and the motherland, forgetting individual egos and the bitter-sweet events of the past," Sah concluded.
