Parties mum on judiciary crisis, but lawyers affiliated to them speak up

Advocates aligned to Congress and UML, who are under the Nepal Bar Association that is demanding Rana’s resignation, say court hearings should not be obstructed.

When the Nepal Bar Association finalised its first phase of struggle against Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana, its leadership had to struggle a lot. There already was strong opposition within. However, its leadership managed to take a decision on the first phase of the struggle, which started from Sunday, with a firm position that the chief justice must resign. The first phase of struggle concluded on Wednesday.
