Kathmandu, August 1
As the Parliamentary Heading Special Committee has remained undecided over the controversial nomination of Acting Chief Justice Deepak Raj Joshee for the top judicial position, members of the panel have been provided with personal bodyguards ‘considering their security sensitivity.’
Nepal Police Headquarters decided to mobilise its personnel for the security of lawmakers as they might be attacked over the decision that the Committee is expected to make today.
A meeting of the Committee is underway and it is expected to decide whether to endorse or reject him. As the ruling parties are against the nominee, Joshee is likely to get rejected and the main opposition party Nepali Congress is likely to protest the verdict.
Of total 15 PHSC members, seven have been provided with the service today. Other members were already enjoying the service.
