The apex court´s verdict has saddened the party, they said.The court´s decision on the case in which the Special Court had given a clean chit is really surprising, they said.



The NC district presidents have demanded the formation of a powerful high level commission to investigate the property owned by judges, registrars of the district courts, appellate courts and the Supreme Court who were on office from 2048 BS to 2069 BS.



Kathmandu district president Bhimsen Das Pradhan said the decision of the apex court based on the report of the royal commission should be reviewed and Khadka should get justice.



Similarly, Sindhupalchowk district president Mohan Bahadur Basnet said the decision is intended at ´tarnishing´ the image of the Nepali Congress, which believes in democracy.



Likewise, Gulmi president Chandra Bahadur KC, Lalitpur president Madan Amatya including Nepal Women´s Association Chairperson Dila Sangroula, Nepal Tarun Dal President Uday Shamsher Rana said the UCPN Maoist-led government which does not abide by the SC decision against its leader Balkrishna Dhungel is hatching conspiracy against the Congress.
