Sushila Karki was the first female Chief Justice of Nepal's Supreme Court. She is known for her honest image and firm decisiveness. Although she is not directly involved in Nepal's politics, discussions are underway to entrust her with the responsibility of interim Prime Minister due to her judicial experience and clean image.

When asked about becoming the interim Prime Minister, Karki responded that the trust shown by the younger generation is a great responsibility for her. "I am ready to work for the benefit of Nepal and the stability of the nation," she clarified.

She also spoke about India-Nepal relations. "India is our neighboring country, and the relations between the two countries are based on historical and cultural ties. We will always maintain a positive outlook to strengthen this relationship," said Sushila Karki.
