Kathmandu, September 23
Nepali Congress lawmaker Radheshyam Adhikari has suggested that the ruling Nepal Communist Party do not file the impeachment motion against Supreme Court Justice Deepak Raj Joshee without any objective ground.
Speaking at a meeting of the National Assembly today, Adhikari, also a senior advocate, said the ruling party could not use the impeachment motion as a threat to make Joshee resign.
The impeachment motion should be based on an objective ground, which the ruling party does not have now, according to him.
Recalling that his party committed a mistake by filing impeachment motion against then Chief Justice Sushila Karki without any substantial ground, he said the NCP should not repeat the error with Joshee now.
“You may get some immediate benefits. But, in the long run, not only your party, but the entire state has to face the consequences.”
