If policy decisions are to be challenged like this, many in Parliament will have to take leave: Pandey

Jun 05, Kathmandu - Senior Vice President of the Unified Socialist Party of Nepal (CPN-UML), Rajendra Pandey, has said that his Chairman Madhav Nepal has taken a policy decision in the Patanjali case.

Talking to media persons at the Parliament building premises on Thursday, he also claimed that Chairman Nepal has not committed any crime in this matter.

"I don't think any crime related to corruption has been committed in the case of our party president's land purchase and sale," said Pandey, "Even yesterday, the Nepal government had the right to make policy decisions. “Yesterday too, the Nepal government had the right to take policy decisions. The same bill is currently stuck in the state system.”

He even targeted the current government, calling the case against Chairman Nepal a political vendetta.

Pandey said, "I think that the fact that this incident occurred, and the decision to end the term of all constitutional bodies, including the CIAA, on the 28th, seems to be a compulsion to do everything in this short period of time."
