Attorney gen acted like party cadre: Oli
KATHMANDU: Former prime minister KP Sharma Oli has accused Attorney General Raman Kumar Shrestha of behaving like a party cadre. Addressing a party function in the Capital on Tuesday, Oli said his activities were like an undisciplined cadre of a party. “Government officials should not hold a party flag during hearing,” Oli remarked, referring to Shrestha’s differences with Chief Justice Sushila Karki over the case of Jay Bahadur Chand’s appointment as the chief of Nepal Police. “How can the attorney general boycott hearing because his preferred judges were not picked for the bench,” Oli questioned. Shrestha had boycotted the hearing questioning repetition of the judges who were involved in issuing an interim order in the same case on the bench.
