Rastriya Swatantra Party Faces Dilemma on Impeachment Process Against Supreme Court Justices
Summary
Rastriya Swatantra Party is struggling to move ahead with an impeachment bid against Supreme Court justices amid internal confusion and the need for opposition support. The party is also weighing how party leader Rabi Lamichhane and other senior figures should coordinate the process in Parliament.
Key Points
- The Rastriya Swatantra Party has decided to push an impeachment process against controversial Supreme Court justices, but its next steps remain unclear.
- The party lacks the two-thirds majority needed in Parliament, so it must secure support from opposition parties to pass any impeachment motion.
- Questions remain over who will convene the parliamentary party meeting and lead the process, with confusion around Balendra Shah's role and Rabi Lamichhane's involvement.
- The Nepali Congress has separately moved toward forming a high-level parliamentary committee and coordinating a common opposition stance on the issue.
