According to Nembang, Yadav told him that he would launch a legal battle against the decision during a meeting on Tuesday morning. Yadav was elected under proportional representation seats of the UCPN (Maoist). The speaker will make a formal announcement of the decision in the upcoming CA meeting.
Yadav had visited Speaker Nembang´s office in Singha Durbar to acquire a copy of the decision to move the court. He returned empty-handed after Speaker Nembang told him that he could provide a copy of the decision only after reading it out in the CA meeting.
“This is an unconstitutional step,” Yadav told myrepublica.com after his meeting with CA Chairman Nembang. “The Constituent Assembly is largely dominated by the reactionaries. The reactionaries have made me a victim.”
Yadav, who formed Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) following differences with the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), said he would discuss the issue with the lawyers and “leaders with revolutionary image” before taking further decision. “Moving the court against the decision is one of options I am mulling,” he said.
Asked if he would launch armed struggle as he has been forming People´s Liberation Army (PLA), Yadav said, “It depends on how the government will treat them.”
He alleged that the government was inflicting unnecessary troubles to the people by setting up additional units of Armed Police Force (APF) in the Tarai and eastern hill districts. “The government is trying to invite civil war by importing arms from both India and China,” he said.
Yadav also claimed that the parties would not be able to draft the new constitution on time. “Even if they draft the constitution, it would not be pro-people,” he said.
