CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that the ruling coalition parties registered the impeachment motion against Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana at the Parliament Secretariat to end the deadlock of the Supreme Court.

He said so while talking to journalists at a programme organised in Janakpur on Sunday.

“There were problems in the judiciary. Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana was responsible for all the problems. The ruling coalition parties filed the impeachment motion to end the impasse,” he said.

As many as 98 lawmakers of the Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist) filed the motion against the Chief Justice this afternoon.

In another context, he said that some elements who are against the 12-point agreement and peace process are hatching a conspiracy to break the ruling coalition.

He was of the opinion that the people should stage demonstrations against those elements.
