During, August 2008 NRN Canada held its first convention and invitations were sent to various political leaders requesting their participation. The only person to attend the mentioned convention was Parvati, the leader from the terrorist organization the “Maoists“. It was Dr. Pramod Dhakal’s initiations who not only, personally invited Parvati but also went to the extent of purchasing the required air-ticket for her against the decision of NRN where it was specifically mentioned that the invited participants would have to make their travel arrangements on their own and that NRN Canada was only liable for food and accommodation. Parvati was denied entry visa to the United States when she wanted to attend the ANA convention but Dr. Dhakal’s loyalty did take her to Canada and the rumors now are that the Maoists in return have assured Dr. Dhakal they would establish a Nepalese Embassy in Canada and that he would be their Ambassador. Amongst all this, the fact that has bothered the NRN working committee members is that Dr. Dhakal has claimed for reimbursement for the expenses involved in Parvati’s travel to Canada.
