Former House Speaker Subas Chandra Nembang has advised former President Ram Baran Yadav to get back to his former profession of medical science.

Talking to Post online three and a half months after resigning from the speaker post on Wednesday, Nembang said a politician should not quit his profession. “I would rather advise former president Ram Baran Yadav to return to his medical field,” said the former Speaker, “A politician must have a profession of his/her own.”

He further said that professional politician without any profession would be a burden for the nation. “We politician should not give up our profession. Otherwise, it will be burden on the party, nation and the people,” he said.

Nembang, an attorney by profession, returned to his law firm after dissolution of the first Constituent Assembly. “But now the situation is different, my party CPN-UML appointed me as a standing committee member and deputy leader of the parliament,” said Nembang, ruling out the possibility of returning to the law firm immediately. “But at my law firm, my room and table is still secure.”

Nembang said he will be active in UML party politics in the coming days.
