Is the VP above the Nepalese Law

Nepal’s first vice president Parmananda Jha, a former Supreme Court judge has ignored the show cause notice issued by the Supreme Court of Nepal against him for taking oath and secrecy of office in Hindi. The Supreme Court on July 28, 2008 had issued a show cause notice against the government of Nepal and vice president Jha in the initial hearing to the writ petition filed by senior advocate Bal Krishna Neupane against Jha taking oath in Hindi. The supreme court of Nepal in the show cause notice had asked for a written explanation from Jha within seven working days that expired yesterday, August 5, 2008. Now the question is, is the vice president above the Nepalese law or is he just testing the law. Before jumping into conclusions, lets wait and see what the Supreme Court does next.

it is mysterious who he is trying to please. when President took oath in Nepali language and formal national attire, no one protested. there were few incidents of media responding to this "non-national" act. few journalist with madeshi origin responding to this unruly act was truly nationalistic and bravery. may be few madeshi politicians criticizing that foolishness would have convinced the people that they were still responsible about the national integrity. now it seems like these group of people have already made their mind to take this nation into pieces. well, let's get ready for a ride in time machine to go back to baise and chaubise.
in fact, it was ridiculous to know that the governmnet replied the supreme court that taking oath in hindi was a political issue rather than a legal one. no wonder everything has been politicized. i would not be surprised if, in near future, I have to go through national boarder to go to see my uncle at biratnagar.
