Dr KC, who has staged several rounds of hunger strike pressing for reforms in the medical education sector, had made Karki’s impeachment his major demand. “Though late, it’s a welcome move. I urge the lawmakers to conclude the impeachment process at the earliest,” Dr KC said, who has also been demanding action against CIAA Commissioner Rajnarayan Pathak.

He said it was an opportunity for lawmakers to enforce the rule of law. Dr KC also warned of staging another indefinite fast if his demands for reforms in health services were not addressed. (PR)
