KATHMANDU: Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun has raised serious concern over the latest move of President Bidya Devi Bhandari.
Issuing a press statement on Wednesday, Vice President Pun said every individual, whatever role they have been assigned as per the Constitution, has to abide by the constitutional provisions.
“Those who are responsible for the observance and protection of the constitution are not allowed to go beyond the scope of the constitution,” he said in the statement.
Earlier, President Bhandari had let the Citizenship amendment bill passed by the parliament twice go inactive by not validating it within fifteen days.
The President’s move has gathered storm again and protests both for and against the action have started in the country.
When the ruling coalition criticized the move as undemocratic, unconstitutional and unacceptable, the students close to the main opposition CPN-UML have come to the street welcoming the President’s move.
