General Secretary of the NBA Lilamani Paudel welcomed the decision of the ruling parties to file the motion against Chief Justice Rana.

“This is a welcome move of the parties to file the motion against CJ Rana. I would like to thank all the lawmakers for the same. Now, we will change the mode of protests,” he said.

He, however, said they will continue the campaign to end political interference in the judiciary.

The NBA has been staging demonstrations for the past four months demanding resignation of Chief Justice Rana.

The NBA has also demanded investigation into the property of Rana.
