JANAKPUR: In a dramatic incident, a member of the Madhesh Province Assembly smeared black soot on his own face during the ongoing assembly session on Saturday.
Rahbar Ansari, a provincial lawmaker from the CPN (Maoist Centre), smeared soot on his face while Chief Minister Jitendra Sonal was seeking a vote of confidence in the assembly.
Ansari said he took the step to protest the growing immorality and unethical behavior of political parties and leaders. “Our politics has become tainted with dishonesty and hypocrisy,” he remarked, expressing frustration over the declining political values in the province.
