The Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Nepal led by Upendra Yadav is going to seek legal recourse regarding party split.
The informal meeting of the party's leaders at Balkumari on Tuesday took the decision to this effect, said Manish Kumar Suman, Spokesperson of the party.
It may be noted that a faction of the party led by Ashok Rai had sought legitimacy of the party with the Election Commission of Nepal and the Commission on last Monday officially recognized the Janata Samajwadi Party led by Rai as a new political party. Leader Rai had garnered support from seven members of parliament at the time of submitting application to the Commission.
"The central executive committee of the party is convening a meeting on coming Wednesday. The meeting will review latest development (party split) and decision on legal recourse would be taken," shared Spokesperson Suman.
A press meet will be held following the party's meeting to make public the official opinion of the party, he added.
