In the deepening night, for a new dawn in Nepal burning in the Gen-J movement, an all-party consensus was reached on the formation of an interim government and the name of its head.

 

In order to fulfill the demands of the Gen-J groups while remaining within the rules of the Constitution and to save Nepal from the crisis, long talks were held with President Ramchandra Poudel, Army Chief Ashok Raj Sigdel, senior legal expert Om Prakash Aryal, and efforts were also made to take steps towards the formation of an interim government by coordinating with political parties.

 

The result of this effort was that after a day-long deadlock over the interim head, at around two o'clock in the night, everyone agreed on the name of former Chief Justice Sushila Karki. The deadlock on the issue of dissolution of Parliament continued in the talks, and no conclusion has been reached on it yet.

 

No consensus on interim head among Gen-J groups

 

On Thursday, there was no consensus among the Gen-J groups regarding the interim head. In the evening, supporters of two groups also clashed near the Army Headquarters. After this, the situation seemed to be getting out of control.

 

According to sources, the Gen-G groups warned to intensify the agitation from Friday morning if no decision could be reached by night. After this, the situation became serious. On this, President Ramchandra Paudel took the initiative and consulted the Army Chief and constitutionalists. Also talked to the representatives of political parties. Former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachand went to Sheetal Niwas and met the President.

 

KP Sharma Oli spoke to the President.

 

The President also spoke to CPN-UML President KP Sharma Oli and top leaders of the Nepali Congress over the phone late at night. All parties agreed to find a way out in accordance with constitutional dignity. The local people also talked about keeping national sentiments, protecting constitutional institutions paramount, and giving priority to the democratic process in every situation.

 

Incorporating all these points, many constitutionalists suggested that if needed, a transitional system can be adopted and a non-parliamentary person can be made the Prime Minister. If there is a need to dissolve the Parliament, then before that, a meeting can be called, and the option of civilian government can be considered through an amendment in the Constitution. In the meeting, concern was also expressed over the situation and potential dangers arising due to the increase in the infection period, and the army chiefs were urged to be vigilant.

 

Security tightened in Nepal.

 

Meanwhile, on Thursday night, rumors of the return of the former king started spreading, and due to some analysis on social media, people's apprehensions started deepening. However, these clouds of apprehension started clearing amid the news of the interim chief being decided after midnight. At the same time, the Nepali Army tightened the security system by deploying armored vehicles, night-vision helicopters, and additional soldiers to deal with any emergency and from the point of view of civil security. The public has been asked to maintain restraint and avoid rumors.
