Hashtag revolution: Constitutional amendment is allowed, breaking isn't
Summary
The article critiques the extra-constitutional actions of the post-Gen-Z government in Nepal, emphasizing breaches of constitutional provisions despite claims of necessity and highlighting challenges for upcoming elections.
Key Points
- In 2013 and 2017, the Supreme Court of Nepal established that sitting or retired Chief Justices cannot assume political offices such as Prime Minister.
- The current post-Gen-Z government in Nepal is accused of breaching constitutional provisions by forming an extra-constitutional government under the doctrine of necessity without suspending the constitution.
- The recent Gen-Z revolution failed to establish interim governance through a new constitution or directive, leading to extra-constitutional actions by the government.
- Failure to conduct elections on time and the improper dissolution or suspension of the House of Representatives violates constitutional articles and parliamentary norms in Nepal.
