BANKE, MAR 01 -
The legal professionals traded blows at the 9th national convention of the Nepal Democratic Lawyers Association (DLA), which is close to Nepali Congress , here in Banke on Saturday.
Situation worsened when some disgruntled lawyers seized mike from
lawyer and Chief Election Officer Thakur Neupane while he was speaking
at the closed session of the ongoing national convention.
Lawyer Pralad Bahadur Karki said that dissatisfaction over the decision
to take action against dissident candidacy at DLA Kathmandu's district
convention was manifested in Nepalgunj. "Though some disgruntled lawyers
expressed their dissatisfaction, it is not a major dispute," he said.
Dissident candidate Hari Poudel had emerged victorious at Kathmandu

incorporate the disgruntled faction. It has been learnt that the lawyers
