The four-member delegation, which also includes Veerappa Moily, Shakeel Ahamed and Jitin Prasada, will meet the leaders of all political parties in Kathmandu.

“The delegation is visiting Nepal to renew the Congress party’s long-term contacts with the political parties. Our party is committed to promoting the democratic process and the constitutional formation in our neighbouring country,” Digvijay Singh said.
