Parties and leaders call for PM’s ouster, Prez’s impeachment

KATHMANDU, May 21: President Bhandari initiated a process  to form a government as per Article 76(5) of the constitution after PM KP Sharma Oli decided not to seek a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives. However, reactions from constitutional experts, political leaders and parties were swift, and harsh against the move by PM Oli and President Bhandari. Constitutional experts have termed the move by President Bhandari a crime against the people and the constitution. Supreme Court advocate Om Prakash Aryal said, “PM KP Sharma Oli should be tried for this crime. This is against the people and the constitution.” Similarly, constitutional expert Bhimarjun Acharya says the PM is inching toward dissolving parliament.
