Sujata visited Shekhar Koirala’s office in Baluwatar and declared her support, stating that there were no disputes between them. She added that Shekhar Koirala is playing a leading role in fulfilling the dreams of their senior family members and emphasized the need for unity to lead the country out of its current challenges.
