Nepali Congress leader Ram Sharan Mahat has said that Nepali Congress will play a decisive role in Lokman Singh Karki's impeachment process. He said that it would not be appropriate to discuss the issue as the impeachment motion has been registered against suspended CIAA Chief Karki at the Parliament.

"There will be proper probe into the matter as impeachment motion has already been registered. If he has committed crime, he cannot escape the justice. However, he will be allowed to furnish his clarification," said former Finance Minister Mahat, while speaking at a programme organised by Press Union at Butwal on Friday.

NC will decide its position on impeachment motion only after the investigation into the matter is completed, he said.

In a different context, leader Mahat said that the election should be held by mid-April in existing structure until the local body structure is finalised.

On a different context, leader Mahat said that it was a wrong decision of government to declare public holiday during state visit of foreign presidents. "Foreign senior guests should be welcomed," said Mahat, "But declaring holiday and deferring the work is a bad practice." He further said that other public holidays should be curbed gradually.
