NEPAL Prime Minister K P Oli chose not to resign in the wake of withdrawal of support by the Maoists, Opposition members tabled a no-trust motion against his government in the House. But the legal community is divided over the likely fallout of the whole exercise as many, including the country’s Attorney General, insist that even if the government is defeated in the House, something that looks imminent at the moment, a new government can be elected only by a duly-elected Parliament, and not by the current transitional Parliament, implying that Oli would be continuing as the chief of the care-taker government till the elections. A total of 254 members signed the no-trust motion tabled before the Parliament secretariat Wednesday, and Speaker Onsari Gharti fixed July 21 for debate and voting.
