Kathmandu, Nepal: With an attempt to convince over the widespread suspicions over the future course of Nepali politics, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has on Monday morning informed to the President Bidya Devi Bhandari that the impeachment motion registered in the parliament against of the Chief Justice Sushila Karki would not affect the scheduled elections in local levels.
As President Bhandai desired to be clear over the recent political development after the impeachment motion registered against the Chief Juestice Karki particularly over the fate of the scheduled local level elections, Prime Minister Dahal had made such clarifications. He had gone to meet the President at the latter’s office in Sheetal Niwas on Monday morning to make clear about the issue.
Responding to the concerns of the President Bhandari, Prime Minister Dahal reportedly told that the impeachment motion was brought against Karki for interfering with the government’s executive role.
Lawmakers from the major ruling allies Nepali Congress and CPN Maoist Centre had on Sunday registered the impeachment motion against Karki. Following the impeachment motion, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home affairs Bimalendra Nidhi, who is also the senior leader of the Nepali Congress, resigned from the post.
The incident has created a big jolt in Nepali politics. Political parties have been mulling their strategy. As not only the opposition parties including the main opposition CPPN UML but also the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, another major ally of the incumbent government, stand against of the impeachment motion registered against of the CJ Karki, the major government allies- Nepali Congress and the Maoist Center have faced tough task for safe landing the recent political development of the country.
