PM bunks CC meeting to watch documentary

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal was ‘busy’ watching a
documentary when he was supposed to be attending a meeting of the Constitutional
Committee on Tuesday.

The CC meeting -that had a very important agenda of naming the new Chief
Justice-was postponed indefinitely citing PM’s ‘busy schedule.’

The incumbent CJ Kedar Prasad Giri is retiring on next week. The process of
appointing a CJ can take up to 15 days as the named CJ has to go through a
parliamentary hearing before the president appoints him.

Keeping aside more important agenda, the PM went to Russian Cultural centre
with a group of ministers to watch a documentary made in Hindi about insurgency
in Nepal.

The PM and his ministers spend two hours Tuesday afternoon watching 'Hiunka
Lapkaharu' made by an Indian film-maker.

The documentary features the development and various aspects of the decade
long insurgency in Nepal. It shows footages of top Maoist leaders Prachanda, Dr
Bhattarai, and Barsha Man Pun among others speaking in Hindi about the
insurgency. nepalnews.com ta Apr 29 09
