Rastriya Swatantra Party Discusses Impeachment of Controversial Supreme Court Justices
Summary
Rastriya Swatantra Party has begun internal consultations on impeaching controversial Supreme Court justices after media reports alleged a nexus with mediator Inam Sapkota.

Key Points
- Rastriya Swatantra Party has started internal discussions on how to move ahead with impeachment proceedings against controversial Supreme Court justices.
- Party leaders say they are consulting with officials, the Speaker and legal experts, but no parliamentary party meeting has yet been called.
- Nepali Congress has also discussed the case and is seeking a high-level parliamentary investigation committee instead of relying only on government bodies.
- The impeachment effort would need broad parliamentary support, including backing from at least one opposition party, and requires a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
