Promulgating Constitution Bypassing Constitutional Procedures
By KTM Metro Reporter
March 28, 2011: one of the Vice-chairmen of UCPN-Maoist Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has said that the Constituent Assembly needs to promulgate a new constitution as scheduled on May 28, 2001 at any cost even if bypassing the constitutional procedures, nepalnews.com writes today.
Dr. Bhattarai, even before the promulgation of a new constitution, you propose to bypass the constitutional procedures means not to follow the rule of law. Then will you and other political leaders follow such a constitution?
Mr. Madhav Nepal had bypassed the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007 for making decisions; the Commission on Investigation into Abuse of Authority and the Supreme Court of Nepal have been annulling one decision after another made by Madhav Nepal and his cabinet. None of you guys has raised any questions either in the legislature-parliament or in public about it. What is the use of a constitution or any law book if you guys are for bypassing those rules and regulations?
