Stating that the decision of the NC and Maoist Center is the planned attack on the supremacy of the constitution and the democratic practice of the good governance, Yadav stated that the impeachment motion lodged against CJ Karki is the consequence of the self and party oriented perception of the parties that would lead the misuse of the state power and will interfere the activities of the independent judiciary.
