Taking to Twitter, NCP leader Nepal wrote, "The people have won with the verdict of the Supreme Court. I extend my thankfulness to the Supreme Court for safeguarding democracy by delivering a historic verdict."
Nepal was referring to the Supreme Court's verdict to scrap the government's decision to dissolve the House of Representatives. The constitutional bench of the Supreme Court decided to reinstate the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening.
The constitutional bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JB Rana with Justices Biswambhar Prasad Shrestha, Anil Kumar Sinha, Sapana Malla Pradhan and Tej Bahadur KC as members issued a mandamus order in the name of government to summon the session of the House of Representatives within 13 days.
Nepal, also the former Prime Minister, further extended his gratitude to all public, political parties, civil society, and media fraternity that protested against the PM's move of HoR dissolution.
