It has been asked whether the impeachment proposal will be presented in the new House of Representatives (HoR) or not, whether the impeachment proposal became ineffective on the date of the end of the tenure of the then HoR or on the date of the election.
More seriously, it has been asked on the basis of which constitutional or legal provisions the General Secretary has said that the impeachment is ineffective when the newly elected House of Representatives is not starting work.
According to Parliament Secretariat sources, the responsible officials of the Parliament Secretariat are angry with the Secretary General Gautam that he did not consult them when he sent the letter. Some have refused even to give counseling.
