KATHMANDU: Federal Council Chairman of Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Dr Baburam Bhattarai has criticized Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli for holding a meeting with Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana at Baluwatar in the middle of the night.

Commenting on the meeting, JSP leader Dr Bhattarai said the meeting between Prime Minister Oli and Chief Justice Rana at Baluwatar in the middle of the night does not bode well in the future of the Nepali politics.

With the news being aired about the meeting between Oli and Rana at Baluwatar on the night of Monday, leader Bhattarai in a tweet hit out at Prime Minister for holding a meeting with Chief Justice saying that it is not a good indication for the democratic political system of Nepal.

He further said that Khil Raj Regmi was an exceptional case for the interim constitution which cannot be a precedent in the present context.

प्रधान न्यायाधीशलाई प्रमले मध्यरातमा निवास बोलाउने,विदेशी दूतले पटकपटक भेट्ने आदि समाचार/हल्ला ळोकतन्त्रकालागि शुभसंकेत हैनन्! खिलराज रेग्मी प्रकरण अन्तरिम संविधानकालको अपवाद हो,त्यो नियम/नजीर बन्न सक्दैन। राज्यका प्रमुख अंग धुजाधुजा पारेर संविधान/लोकतन्त्र मास्ने खेल पूरा नहोस्!
