The UCPN-Maoist tabled a resolution motion (संकल्प प्रस्ताव) against the President Dr Ram Baran Yadav in the Legislature-Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. According to Chairman of the Constituent Assembly Subash Chandra Nembang, deputy parliamentary party leader of the UCPN-Maoist Narayan Kaji Shrestha tabled a proposal against the President in the CA secretariat demanding that the head of state is not accountable to the parliament as per the interim constitution. The motion also asked the President to withdraw his decision to reinstate CoAS Rookmangud Katawal.
Nembang said that he would take necessary decision on the Maoists’ move after holding discussion in a meeting of the Task Management Committee of the Legislature-Parliament.
A secretariat meeting of the party held at the PM's residence in Baluwatar Wednesday morning had decided to move the proposal.
Earlier today, during his meeting with Speaker Subas Nemwang, caretaker Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal had said his party would allow the parliamentary to function if it takes up the commitment proposal.

Our Perspective:
Maoists must be really sure of what they are doing. Unless they are this is a difficult path they have chosen. But we would say this is something required to establish the people's superiority over the president. As we have always stressed, the executive powers should be in the hands of those elected by the people and president should always remain above the debate.
