KATHMANDU: Federal Council Chairman of Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Dr Baburam Bhattarai has suggested that the current imbroglio should be resolved pursuant to Article 76 (5) of the Constitution, rising above the partisan interest.

Tweeting on Thursday evening following the call to form a new government by President Bidya Bhandari on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, leader Bhattai called on the parties to forge consensus on the formation of the new government.

President Bhandari has given Friday 5 pm deadline (21 hours) to form a new government on the recommendation of the cabinet meeting held on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Bhattarai has criticized Prime Minister KP Oli for his move saying that he is  on pushing the country into a perpetual abyss.

He has called on all the parties represented in the parliament to stand united to relieve the Prime Minister Oli of his post by forming a new government in line with Article 76 (5) of the Constitution.

खुराफात शीरोमणि द्वयको षडयन्त्र र संविधानमाथिको आक्रमणको शृंखला नरोकिने भयो।कोरोना महाब्याधीको यत्रो संकटको वेला देशलाई अनिश्चित र हुनसेन स्टाइल चुनावकोअंध्यारो सुरूंगमा धकेल्नेहरूलाई दण्डित/परास्त गरौं।सबैले दलीय /निजी स्वार्थ त्यागेर जोजेमा सहमति हुन्छ धारा७६(५)बाटै निकास दिऊॅ!
