Kathmandu. Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) chief whip Gyan Bahadur Shahi has demanded the resignation of State Affairs and Good Governance Committee President RamHari Khatiwada. Talking to media persons at Singha Durbar on Tuesday, Khatiwada demanded his resignation on moral grounds over the manipulation in the cooling period.

He said it was a heinous crime and it would not benefit the country. He argued that it was a crime against the state to tamper with the importance of lawmakers. If the employees have committed this act, then those who commit crimes against the state should be punished.

According to the bill registered by the government in the Parliament in March 2080, “No post other than constitutional, diplomatic appointment or any other appointment made by the government should not work for two years from the date of retirement without prior approval of the Government of Nepal”.

This provision did not hinder constitutional and political appointments. The purpose was to require the approval of the government only to take appointment in private and non-governmental organizations other than the government. Questions have been raised as the bill passed by the committee does not include the word ‘constitutional or diplomatic appointments other than any other appointment to be made by the Government of Nepal’.
