According to the ‘Gorkhapatra’ of May 18, 2009, the President’s office has sent the explanations to the Supreme Court stating the President has taken the actions in view of the request of the majority of the political parties represented in the parliament and of the political situation in the country; in addition, the President’s action is not entirely based on the legal and constitutional matters but on national security, legal and peace, and the sensitivity of the army.
