Yadav Charges Prime Minister of Violating Constitution
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
Chairman of the Madheshi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF) Upendra Yadav has charged Prime Minister Madhav Nepal of violating the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007 appointing Parliamentary leader of MPRF Bijaya Gacchedar to the Deputy Prime Minister without the recommendation of the MPRF. Following the Clause 38 (5) of the Interim Constitution, the Prime Ministers needs to appoint anybody to the members of a Council of Members from among the members of the parliament with recommendation of the concerned party; however, the Prime Minister has appointed Gacchedar to the Deputy Prime Minister even ignoring the letter of MPRF written to the Prime Minister stating the party has not made any decision on its members joining the government, Chairman Yadav has said in the press conference held in Kathmandu on June 5, 2009.
Protesting the unconstitutional action of the Prime Minister of appointing Gacchedar to the Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman Yadav has said that his party is taking back the support given to the Prime Minister, and will launch a protest against the government; and will sit in the opposition in the parliament.
Chairman Yadav also has said that his party has fired Gacchedar and his seven companions for working against the party. However, Gacchedar has said in another program that the party chairman has taken the decision on firing them with emotion, and is unconstitutional; he also has said that his party will not split in any case.
