KATHMANDU: Pashupati Sharma ‘s new song “Lutna Sake Lut” was removed from the YouTube late Saturday night. The song was released on last Thursday only. In his Facebook status, singer Pashupati Sharma says that the song was removed after some of his friends expressed dissatisfaction on its lyrics. He also says that the song will be uploaded after revising its lyrics. His Facebook post further says that he has no intimacy with any political parties.
The song was loaded with irony against the entire political and bureaucratic system of Nepal. The song condemned the Prime Minister’s act. In the song, he mocked the government for delivering nothing expect making lofty speeches.
Nepal is a heaven, but the ruler (i.e. prime minister) is a devil, he expressed in the song. He also made fun of the infrastructure development of the country as to how the contractors only hold the tenders but never complete construction projects. The song is also satirical to the President, Bidya Devi Bhandari for her interest to have a sophisticated helicopter.
The song expressed how a mere government clerk within a few years of joining the service erects a posh house in the capital city worth over 15 million. The song gave the messages that everyone can loot this country and that no one gets punished for any acts of corruption. The song further said that there is no other country in the world except Nepal where one can indulge in looting at ease. The song said how the people could not feel the governments’ presence in their life. Release of the song coincided with the one year term completion of the government.
