Om Astha Rai
Heard that a foreign mission issued a condemnable diktat against ‘reservation’ for a certain caste groups in Nepal! The Constitution written by the Nepali people does not include the word ‘reservation’, it just states ‘proportional inclusive reservation’, which is what it should be. If you cannot tell sugar from bullshit, you better shut up. Baburam Bhattarai, Ex-Prime Minister
