Case against VP for taking oath in Hindi

A writ petition has been registered at the Supreme Court Friday against Vice President Parmananda Jha for taking oath in Hindi instead of the national language Nepali.

Advocate Bal Krishna Neupane filed the writ at the apex court demanding rejection of the oath taken by Jha and asking him to re-take it in Nepali language or be expelled from the post.

The offices of the President, Vice President and Prime Minister are the opponents of the case filed today.

Students have been demonstrating against Jha for taking oath in Hindi though he is a Maithili speaker. Few parties in the parliament have also opposed the action. nepalnews.com ia July 25 08
