Sit-in and torch rally organised

Demanding the implementation of the SC verdict on the Royal Commission for Corruption Control (RCCC), lawyers on monday organised a separate sit-in and torch rally on the premises of the Nepal Bar Association (NBA). About 500 lawyers took part in the sit-in.

“Since the verdict clearly indicates that sovereignty is vested in the people, the King should implement the SC verdict immediately,” senior advocate Radheshyam Adhikary said. He said the King had been exercising executive power even after the SC verdict. “Respecting the verdict, the King should immediately dissolve the government,” Adhikary added.

Senior advocates Krishna Prasad Bhandari, Shree Hari Aryal, former president of NBA Harihar Dahal, present NBA vice-president Sher Bahadur KC, and general secretary Madhav Banskota too urged the King to dissolve the government immediately.
