CPN-UML General Secretary Ishwor Pokharel has said the Nepali Congress cannot go against the impeachment proposal filed against Lokman Singh Karki, the suspended chief of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority.

“All the political parties except the Congress are in favour of the impeachment motion. I am sure the Congress won’t stand against the proposal even though its formal decision on the matter is delayed,” Pokharel told reporters here on Saturday.

The UML leader had arrived in the district to attend a party programme. He said resolving the issues of constitution amendment, state demarcation, restructuring of local bodies and holding the elections depend on the parties’ resolve to sort them, he claimed.

Pokharel said his party would not obstruct constitution amendment if the agitating sides come up with genuine reasons for the same. “Constitution is a dynamic document. Parties should be clear what provisions need amendment,” said Pokharel.
