Opposition Parties Seek One Day to Study Proposed Chief Justice's Plan and Complaints

Kathmandu. Opposition parties have demanded one day to study the action plan of proposed Chief Justice Dr. Manoj Sharma and the complaints filed against him. Opposition party MPs made the demand in a meeting held at the parliamentary hearing committee's office in Singhdarbar. 

CPN MP Barshaman Pun said that the decision should be made after completing the process. "The Constitutional Council has all three bodies and the opposition. Let's go through the process. Let's not delay the work. Let's take some time to study," Pun said in the committee meeting. 

He said that time should be given to study the action plan of the proposed Chief Justice who will run the Supreme Court for 6 years. He demanded that the hearing be conducted from tomorrow morning and a decision be made showing that the process is perfect. 

CPN-UML MP Padma Aryal said that hasty work without discussion would lead to opacity. "What is the need for such haste? The complaints of the complainants must be heard. We don't have time to understand. Such haste and opaque decisions also raise questions about the dignity of the committee," said MP Aryal. 

Aryal proposed to read on Wednesday and discuss on Thursday. She argued that approving it in one day would be like endorsing the decision of the executive. 

MP Prem Prasad Dangal sought time to study the action plan of proposed Chief Justice Sharma. MP Nar Bahadur Bist sarcastically suggested naming the committee the Approval Committee.
