KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) leader Gagan Thapa has said that the Supreme Court (SC) has defended the Constitution by giving its verdict in favor of reinstating the House of Representatives.

Taking to Twitter after the SC’s decision to reinstate the HoR, Thapa said that the respect toward the court has increased.

“The Supreme Court has defended the Constitution by rejecting the prime minister’s audacity to rule against conspiracies and settings,” he said.

हामी सवैलाई बधाई!

संविधान विरुद्ध षडयन्त्र र सेटिङको शासन गर्ने प्रधानमन्त्रीको दुस्साहसलाई खारेज गर्दै सर्वोच्च अदालतले संविधानको रक्षा गरेको छ।अदालतले विना भय र दवाव,विवेकसम्मत रुपमा संविधानको पक्षमा दृढतापूर्वक आफुलाई उभ्याउदै न्यायालयप्रतिको जनविश्वासलाई थप उच्च बनाएको छ।
