Nepal’s constitutional rights body, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), is questioning the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) after reports and internal material indicate that minors may have been enrolled as party members. The Kathmandu Post reports that the NHRC is seeking a detailed explanation following media coverage and documents suggesting that underage individuals were given membership. The issue is tied to RSP’s member-registration information, which the reports describe as including a large number of people who are under 18. One account states that the party reported more than 35,000 members in that age group. RSP has responded that the inclusion of underage members was a technical error in its membership records. The NHRC’s scrutiny focuses on how the membership list is compiled and verified, and on whether the party’s records reflect an accurate compliance process. The next steps involve the party providing the requested clarification to the NHRC as the body reviews the reported discrepancies.
