KATHMANDU, May 6: CPN-UML has decided not to take the body of veteran leftist leader Pradip Nepal to its party office for final tributes.
Although the party had initially planned to pay respects by placing his body at the office, leaders reversed the decision following the family's request to honor Nepal's final wishes. In his will, Nepal had clearly stated that no party flag should be draped over his body and no public tribute should be organized.
