Deuba, Oli equally guilty in CJ Rana seeking share in government

Nepali Congress (NC) leader Shekhar Koirala has said Prime Minister (PM) Sher Bahadur Deuba and KP Sharma Oli are equally to blame for Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra Shumsher Rana seeking a share in the federal government.

Koirala has said so talking with Setopati amidst demands for CJ Rana to resign or face impeachment. "NC is silent but I have already put my position in the dispute about judiciary," he stated. "It is the responsibility of CJ to lead the judiciary on the right track as he himself is the head of the judiciary. He must think in a way that the judiciary functions independently and impartially. Justices and lawyers inside the judiciary are seen to be opposing CJ."
