NC’s protest to protect Constitution

BIRATNAGAR, July 31: Deputy-leader of the Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party, Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar, has said that the Nepali Congress has organized the protest program on Tuesday to protect the Constitution.

Meanwhile, member of the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee, Gyanendra Bahadur Karki, said that the PHSC meeting was put off on the basis of a consensus.

Talking to media persons, Karki clarified that the meeting was postponed on the basis of consensus of all members to take concrete decision regarding the issue of acting Chief Justice Deepak Raj Joshi in the meeting. RSS
