NC hosts tea reception

The Nepali Congress organised a tea reception at the party headquarters in Sanepa on Monday to exchange greetings on the occasion of Dashain , Chhath, Bakra-Eid, Nepal Sambat and Tihar festivals.

Senior leaders from different political parties including CPN-UML Chairman Jhalanath Khanal, Nepal Majdoor Kishan Party Chairman Narayan Man Bijukchhe, among other leaders, were present at the reception.

Foreign diplomats, civil society leaders, journalists, senior government officials, artists and media persons were also invited at the reception.

The party has been organising tea reception s every year on the occasion of Kojagrat Purnima—the last day of Dashain festival—since 1976 A.D.

The practice of organising such tea-reception was first initiated by late NC leader B.P. Koirala after he arrived with the policy of “national reconciliation.”
