KATHMANDU: Leader of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Bhim Rawal has slammed birthday celebrations by Prime Minister KP Oli.
Wishing belated birthday to PM Oli on Monday, leader Rawal took to Twitter expressing his discontent over the birthday celebrations.
“Happy Birthday Prime Minister! It would be better if you consider this— cutting cake is not traditional Nepali culture. We consider a country as a mother and it is not appropriate to cut a cake with the country’s map. It is not good to celebrate a birthday by spending such a huge amount while we are seeking aid from other countries for prosperity. Party’s decision too bars it.”
The prime minister has drawn criticism from several quarters for lavish birthday celebrations with most of the social media users criticizing for cutting a cake with the country’s map.
