Leaders from the faction demanded action against the two stating that the party had already taken action against the duo for their alleged involvement in activities against the party´s interest.



“We are going to file a case against Aryal tomorrow (Wednesday) for misusing the party´s letter pads," Thapa said. The CPN-ML (Socialist) that has four members in the 601-seat Constituent Assembly is a splinter group of CPN (ML).
