Maoist Spokesperson Shrestha accuses EC of being govt’s hand puppet

KATHMANDU: Maoist Center leader and Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha has accused the Election Commission (EC) of being a puppet of the government.

Taking to Twitter Tuesday, he wrote, “The EC has been working as a puppet of the government to mock the law and democracy. I condemn such action of a constitutional body. This is clear from its recent decision about Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP). It did the same to Nepal Communist Party (NCP).”
