KATHMANDU, FEB 22 -
The youth leaders of the different opposition parties have slammed the
proposal on constituting an election government under the leadership of
the Chief Justice alleging that the top leaders of the four major
parties brought that with the intention of putting off the election.
Speaking in the face-to-face programme organised by Reporters' Club
Nepal here today, they concluded that the proposal would further
increase problems rather than giving way out to the present political
and constitutional deadlock.
They argued that the proposal to appoint a person who is the Chief of
the Judiciary to the post of Prime Minister would not only diminish the
dignity of the post but would also make him controversial as an activist
of a certain political party.
The youth leaders accused the top leaders of the three major parties
and the United Democratic Madhesi Front of following a wrong path of
finishing off democracy by neglecting the party's majority views and
decisions.
The leaders also denounced the proposal saying it was in contravention
to the principle of separation of powers. They also came down heavily on
the leadership of their parties for agreeing to this proposal floated
by the Unified CPN (Maoist) neglecting the official decision of the
party.
On the other hand, the youth leaders of the ruling parties have tried
to defend the proposal stating that it was brought with the sincerity of
taking a meaningful initiative for resolving the deadlock and arriving
at a consensus.
They argued that the proposal of forming an election government under
the leadership of the Chief Justice has come as a last resort to find a
way out of the present political deadlock after one year of discussions
and dialogue among the parties could not produce results.
"The Chief Justice has been proposed to head the election government
not the Chief Justice as a person but due to the trust that the Supreme
Court commands," the youth leaders of the ruling parties said.
