Guys,
Enough of pahadi vs madhesi debate. Nepal belongs to everyone residing within its geographical boundary.

hum madhesiya chhi. u r real bastard. u dont have yr name. oh sorry! yr name is Tori Maikey Saar,
nice name! keep on ! dont change Tori Maikey Saar,
Pramananda Jha’s taking oath of office in Hindi is very objectionable because if some MP of Gurung or Sherpa communities demand to take oath of office in their Gurung or Sherpa language then we must allow them to take oath in their languages, and that will create chaos.

Got it what i was saying? It’s just the beginning. If the Dhoti is allowed to swore in dhoti language, then the groups should alos be allowed to speak in their own language at the CA meetings. Then it will be fun to see how grave a mistake it was to the dhoti language in national media.
Dr. Ram Baran Yadav is a true son of Nepal, whereas Paramanda Jha, One of the most corrupt judges of Nepal, is a person who does not seem to have any respect for Nepal. Yo sati le sarape ko desh ho.
I hope Paramanda Jha will be impeached before long for his involvement in the big corruption scandal.

The bloody corrupt dhoti taking oath in hindi! Thats great. Congratulations to the bloody netas for selling their asses for a lousy chair. I wonder when the lathuwa gorkhes will come to their senses and chop off all the netas heads.
Our VP took oath in Hindi, because for long time you PAHADE are saying him DHOTI, and still you are continuing it.
This is just begining , near future you will see what will happen.
Thanks Parmanand Jha, You made a history in PAHADE RAJYA.

On taking oath in Hindi, one of my Indian friend said this: He is a bloody bastard, why don’t you guys kick his ass across the border.
Son of indian born immigrants from the plains seem to be high after their maternal uncle rakesh sood started pumping air in their arse. Feeling good and empowered from air ha…
K K naam rakchhaaa yo marsyaa haru?
Top brash rey…katako top brash….marsya ta TOP TRASH
congrats uncle
How about changing/replacing VP-Mr P Jha?
What a shame!…..oath in Hindi? I’m not aware that oath can be taken in a foreign language. I think, our Netas don’t care about Nepalese people at all. Even in Indians MPs don’t take Oath in Hindi language instead they take in English. I think Mr Jha is using our country’s democracy by showing his disrespect for Nepal and People of Nepal.
Even Sonia Gandhi is not allowed to be a president or a prime minister for India even though she speaks Hindi and is Hindu just because The Indians thinks she is not a Indian and won’t tolerate millions of people of India govern by a foreigner. So why Nepal should tolerate this, why anyone could not condemn or stop him there and then as soon as they heard him?
I think too much freedom among Nepali politics now. I suggest, Nepali language should be made mandatory from now on. If anyone wants to speaks in hindi then they should be dismissed (they can speak Hindi in their House)
Even Britain, foreigner need to learn “Britishness” that means its language, culture and its beliefs. shouldn’t our leaders learn about Nepali values, culture and its beliefs?
Mr JHA not only use Indian Language but he was wearing DHOTI and there was no ‘Bhatgaule Topi” We have every right to ask our Netas about their Patriotism. Mr Jha seems so against Nepali values by wearing Indian Dhoti.
Even, South Indian speak Hindi language…..oh my god, how an earth he used that language in heart of our place?
I also suggest that Media should be allowed to ask questions or Media should ask question to Mr Jha about his action???
Arun and Mukesh
Mr Jha didn’t challenged but he shows his cowardliness and stupidity. After all you are living in our soil that means Nepal is providing you food and shelter. Not only that most importantly we are providing you citizenships.
Can Arun and Mukesh tell me that – Does India provides you any of these? It doesn’t matter how you humiliate Nepal. Live in the real world.
I don’t think Indians recognize you as Indian if you go in Indian, you will live as minority. Let me make you clear “You are a huge Burden of Nepal”. You don’t recognize a Diamond from a Stone! So how can measure the value of Nepal?
Jyoti,
The likes of Mukesh, arun, and Ali are half indians. Their maternal uncle’s home is in India. Basically, they are half indian, for whom, nepali nationality, is of no value. They go to school in neighboring bihar and UP, become professionals through indian embassy quota, marry bihari chicks, and take dowry in Indian rupees. If the dowry is not up to their likings, we all know what they do with brides.
In other words, they were never true nepali to begin with. What do you expect from them? Let astray dogs bark!
Jyoti,
Do you know one thing??
Even VP Paramanand Jha were took oath in Nepali, wear Daura Suruwal and Dhaka or Bhadgaule Topi, h e would still BHAIYA, MADISHE, INDIAN, DHOTI.
Your language would Never change, so he did that.
Dhoti is not INDIAN Dress, If you Know about MITHILA(a place which is now both in India and Nepal), It belongs to there.
The Next,if A Pahade CLOTH can be national Cloth why Madheshi cloth or Maithil clothes can not be national cloth???
Everything is changing, National ANTHEM, Name of Army, Airways, Name of Police etc, then why madheshi can not free to speak Hindi and wear Dhoti???
You Pahade people made us this,we Love Nepal Not less than you , but your attitude made us this and we just love Madhesh and Madheshi, We Just hate you bastard !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mukesh Jha:
Keep your citizenship certificate safely because some day we will check your citizenship to figure out whether you are a true terai bashi or someone who just crossed the southern border in order to get the Nepali citizenship illegally. By the way, Is Charesananda Jha (Paramanda is a convicted criminal in hasis scandal) your Uncle?
XYZ,
You are still Nameless, it seems you are something like exmaple, x.y,z………..
I don’t know who is Paramanand Jha, but if you can say him charesanand Jha, there will be so many names can be formed for you pahades.
Mukesh Jha:
How is your life in the US?
Mukesh Jha,
You need to understand why not a single person speaks against Dr. Ram Baran Yadav but hundreds of people have already spoken against Paramanda Jha. Because Paramanda Jha is a corrupt judge convicted by the judicial councial for releasing a notorious drug smuggler in exchange of hefty amount of bribe. That is why he is called charesananda Jha. He was also demoted from the the post of temporary judge of the supreme court to the appleate court judge of Biratnagar.

“Even, South Indian speak Hindi language…..oh my god, how an earth he used that language in heart of our place”
Jyoti,
South Indians do not speak Hindi. They don’t even watch Bollywood Movies. They think Hindi is the Bihari language. Since you are in Scotland you must have noticed that when one Indian meets another Indian they always speak English.
Now back to the VP Jha issue. This is not a minor problem. He could have taken oath in Maithili to respect one of the languages of Nepal. In Hindi? This is outright criminal. CA members should recall and revote another suitable person for the VP position.
This is the basic difference between the patriotic King who for the sake of the national reconciliation relinquished his power with a smile on his face.
Yet these Indian agents like Jha take oath in hindi to further hurt the Nepalese pride.
We know who are true sons of this country and who are the traitors. Make no mistake.
Keep fighting pahadi vs madeshi… Who ever remains at the last, will deserve to be a winner.
Parmananda Jha is not only pro-Indian, he is also anti-Nepali. The problem lies in his being pro-Indian, not his corrupt past because all politicians are corrupt by nature. This is a guy who takes oath in the language of a foreign country. Which ethnic group’s mother tongue is Hindi in Nepal? I would not have problem if he had taken oath of office in Maithali or Bhojpuri or Tharu language. But Hindi? Are you kidding me? There has to be a constitutional provision to prohibit from using any language other than ethnic.
I blame largely Maoists and other political parties for allowing this pro-Indian and anti-Nepali act to happen.
Mukesh Jha,
Read my post above. It is meant for you, too.
Just to let you know, I support Federalism, Madhesi languages and Madhesi cultures just like other ethnic cultures and languages.
kapil
you also need to understand why madheshi are organized against pahadias?had you pahadias shown respect towards madheshis in early days,the situation would have been entirely different.think twice before argue…..
xyz bastard!
try to limit yourself within pahadi areas.if we saw you in madhesh anyday,that will be your last day in your life.got it?
mukesh jha
who will be chopped u know better…..u the sons of coward u all needed to be massacared for the shake of prosporous nepal….chopping is done by khukuri tat is with us not with u son of coward….when the strength of pahad comes so called madesh will flood with blood of u people……….
in nepal there is no place called madesh by the way….it is in UP india….and we have conquered lucknow for british a century ago…..if its needed we can do it again…so beware tat we are still calm…………
if mukesh jha further bark through his comments then he is not son of one father …………….
re madher chod administrator, maile lekheko kina awaiting ma rakhchhas???? kina delete garchhas???
if mukesh jha further barks through his comments then he is not son of one father…………………………so when u post next comment accept it ok and give the number of ur fathers…………….and many of them surely will be of india
we are brother ankit, if I have many fathers so do your,
mukesh jha has accepted he is not son of one father………..so now we kno who is he
It’s a great day for all Nepalese.. Finally our president is elected.. I appreciate and congratulate Dr. Yadav presidentship.. BUT our VP Mr. Jha.. it’s miserable..
good news for indian maoists to not try going for power? keep it all nice.
But nepal betrays its elections and this is not a good karma somehow the election result should have been translated in a representative as much as all hate it…
oyi saale ankit maachhiknne!
ta saale madheshi ko nati,baau ko birta khojchhas madhesh ma?
how can we be brother…………..we are not………….u r indian madhesi i m not….i am pahadi so accept that pahadi have won then u may be right otherwise …..so don’t just argue for arguments…………..u have lose so just shut up and don’t expose ur brain filled with shit in the public
tyo tarai chaudhari, dhimal, tharu haru ko ho not of madhesi
top brash taile tero bauko naam kina mero naam pachadi jode ko…………tero amalai maile chikeko chaina
