Toilet Treatment At Nepal’s Ministry
Matrika Yadav, a frustrated Nepali Maoist minister for Forest and Soil Conservation, locked his subordinate in a toilet, for an hour and half, in charges of corruption, reported BBC today.
People have long given up hope on Nepal’s justice system. It’s slow and inefficient. And it’s not only general citizens who’ve lost faith in the system, but high-ranking government officials too.
4,000 government workers went on a strike and asked Mr. Yadav’s apology, protesting the toiltet treatment. But the minister was unapologetic and acknowledged his action, reported NepalNews.com., and said he was not guilty for using unconventional method against Dundu Raj Ghimire for not following his orders. On the contrary, Mr. Yadav said he will not hesitate to do it again, if need be. He said he was giving Ghimire a taste of his own foul medicine.
But there’s no word from Ghimire, the victim.
After reading the news on BBC Web site, a friend said, “It happens only in Nepal.”
Yerina
i also said ‘at least now people will realise that we do have bathrooms/toilets in nepal!’ heh
!
How long was the guy locked in the toilet? and i thought you could always open a toilet from the inside!?!
He was locked in for an hour and half. I guess it was the kind of a door with a latch and a pad-lock that can’t be opened from inside. But good question!!
