Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said the demise of leader Pradip Giri has incurred irreparable loss not only to the Nepali Congress but also to the global socialist movement.

Addressing a condolence gathering organized jointly by the central working committee of the party and NC Kathmandu district committee on the 13th day of Giri’s passing away on Thursday, PM Deuba viewed the socialist movement could be propped up if his thoughts and writings were studied and implemented.
