Pashupatinath or Politicsnath

Protest against the controversial changing of the main priest in pashupatinath temple.

“It’s good that the priest is changed. But the way is not right. Today, Maoists changed the priest, tomorrow CPN may change, then congress.” A local near pashupatinath temple told informing about the strike they called the next day. After talking to some locals, I found that they are happy that Nepalese priest is appointed. But the way is not right. There are some rituals to be performed, and there should not be politics. Maoists should have learnt some lesson from the controversy in Indra Jatra in interferring culture.
