Janata Samaj Leader Claims 'Poisonous Seed' Sown by Oli and Lekhak Now Backfiring

Kathmandu. Majid Ansari, a leader of the Janata Samaj movement, stated that the 'poisonous seed' sown by CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak yesterday has now sprouted against them today.

Posting his views on social media, Ansari recalled the incident where Oli and Lekhak, displaying the arrogance of a two-thirds majority, arrested Rabi Lamichhane in the dead of night. Ansari mentioned that the poisonous seed they sowed by asking Lamichhane his 'last wish' has now backfired against them, and this is nothing new.

Ansari also expressed serious doubt that the case filed against Oli and Lekhak would stand in court. He opined that the offenses under Sections 181 and 182 of the Muluki Criminal Code would struggle to stand against Section 67 of the Muluki Criminal Procedure Code. He cautioned the government that the arrest should not be a mere drama intended only to secure an arrest, only for the accused to be released as soon as the charge sheet is presented to the court on the 25th day of the remand extension or bail hearing.

Ansari demanded that if the government truly intends to take action, Oli and Lekhak should be prosecuted based on corruption cases and the report of the Lal Commission.

Furthermore, he urged the Home Ministry to take the country's peace and security seriously in the current sensitive situation and advised them to take only mature steps in the coming days.
