Local government offices in a southern district of Nepal have shut down in protest after a visiting minister beat up the most senior local official.

The minister, Karima Begum, slapped the man five times - for not sending a new car to pick her up from the airport.

When chief district officer Durga Prasad Bhandari protested, she struck him again, breaking his glasses.

Mr Bhandari has written in protest to Nepal's Home Ministry, which has apologised. Mrs Begum has yet to do so.

'Who is senior?'

The beating happened on Tuesday after an old car was sent to collect Mrs Begum during a ministerial visit to the southern town of Birgunj in Parsa district.

I could not even get a word out - she even broke my spectacles

Mrs Begum, minister of state for agriculture and co-operatives, took her anger out on Mr Bhandari, slapping him five times on the cheeks.

The chief district officer said he was shocked by the beating, which came as he stood in line to welcome the minister.

"I could not even get a word out," he told a local newspaper.

He said he had tried to persuade the minister her conduct was not in keeping with her position, but this had made her more angry.

"She even broke my spectacles," said the bruised Mr Bhandari.

Mrs Begum later told local reporters that she knew that the district administration office had a new Mahindra Scorpio SUV and that she had expected to be picked up in it.

She said that failing to send the vehicle showed a lack of respect by the chief district officer.

"Who is senior - minister or chief district officer?" she asked.

However, Mr Bhandari said the reason he had not sent the Scorpio was it had not been available at the time.

Instead he had sent a vehicle from the Agricultural Tools and Research Office.

'Regret'

Following the incident, local government offices and government-run banks in the district have shut down in protest.

A group of government staff associations have issued a joint statement saying they will remain closed until the minister apologies for her actions.

Mr Bhandari said he had already informed the Home Ministry about the incident.

In a statement, the ministry said it regretted his mistreatment by State Minister Begum.

State minister slaps CDO


UPENDRA LAMICHHANE

(Updated with details)

BIRGUNJ, Nov 10: State Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives Karima Begum on Tuesday afternoon slapped Chief District Officer (CDO) of Parsa Durga Prasad Bhandari at the latter´s own office premises.

State Minister Begum slapped CDO Bhandari five times, saying that he sent an ´old´ vehicle to pick her up from Simara Airport. She was in Birgunj to attend an interaction on ´Girl education campaign for women lawmakers´.

Begum, who was accompanied by party cadres, grabbed CDO Bhandari by the scruff of the neck and slapped him five times upon her arrival at the CDO office. CDO Bhandari was then waiting to welcome the visiting minister.



"Yes, I beat up the CDO. I slapped him five times, pulling him up by the collar," said Begum.

It is learnt that Begum had initially demanded a Scorpio belonging to the District Development Committee, Parsa. The District Administration Office had sent a Mitsubishi car from the Agricultural Tools Research Office in Birgunj.

Begum told media persons that she slapped the CDO as the latter failed to send a new vehicle to pick her up.

"The CDO has been using the Scorpio. Why can´t a minister use the vehicle?" she asked angrily. "Who is senior-- minister or CDO?"

CDO Bhandari said he was taken by surprise when the minister all of a sudden started slapping him while he was standing in the premises to welcome her. "I could not even get in a word," he said. "I did not react, out of respect for the position of minister and parliamentarian."



Bhandari said Begum became more angry when he tried to persuade her that such conduct by her did not suit her ministerial position. "She even broke my spectacles," he complained.

Bhandari said he has already informed Home Minister Bhim Bahadur Rawal about the incident and Minister Rawal assured him the matter would be put to the cabinet. "What will she do to other employees when she beats up even the CDO?" he asked.

District Administration Offices (DAOs) in Bara and Parsa remained closed Tuesday to protest the treatment of the CDO. Government employees at local bodies have warned of stringent protests against the incident, terming it ´deplorable´.

Why A minister! even an election officer just punishes a peon , Our Dear pinarayi barks at it as it is an act of "Hindu Fasism"...The reason is that the peon is a muslim and the officer is a hindu from GUJARAt, unfortunately!!!

And Pinarayi boosted the Relegious probe even though the relegion has nothing to do with it!!!
