KATHMANDU, August 26: Legal professionals have alleged that attempts have been made to bring the bill related to transitional justice to deny justice.
Stating that the current transitional justice bill would not provide justice to the victims and provide only additional pain to them, they have argued that the bill should not be passed from the parliament. At a news conference organized here on Thursday, they blamed that the bill related to transitional justice has tried to give amnesty to perpetrators.

Similarly, advocate and human right activist Mahamunishwor Acharya objected, saying the bill related to transitional justice has been tabled in the parliament obstructing the transitional justice process.
