The Impeachment Recommendation Committee submitted the report prepared to impeach suspended Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana to Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota on Saturday. The committee had recommended the House of Representatives to impeach Rana on Saturday itself. The committee passed the report on the basis of majority. The CPN-UML and the Democratic Socialist Party lawmakers, however, expressed their dissatisfaction over the report.

UML lawmaker Bishnu Paudel said, “The report was endorsed despite our strong reservation. We have been asking facts with Rana. The report is incomplete.”

Among the 11 members in the committee, six lawmakers of the ruling coalition were for impeaching Rana while five lawmakers of UML and Democratic Socialist Party were against it.
