Nepal’s flamboyant journalist, Rishi Dhamala, who accompanied Mr. Upendra Yadav, the chairman of Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum (MJF) and Mr. Jhal Nath Khanal, the chairman of the United Marxist Leninists, to New Delhi in their week long New Delhi pilgrimage has been misbehaved by the Indian security personnel.

Reports further claim that Mr. Dhamala who has of late become the heartthrob of India’s low grade leadership of the likes of Sita Ram Yechuri and D.P. Tripathi, had left for New Delhi two days ahead of the two top politicos of Nepal landed in the Indian capital, Delhi-the Mecca of Nepali politics since early 1990s.

The Indian security personnel slapped Mr. Dhamala seven times while he accompanied Mr. Upendra Yadav to Bigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, November 5, 2009. So sad!

“While Mr. Dhamala tried to enter the premises along with Mr. Upendra Yadav, he was first stopped by the Indian security personnel and demanded that he identified himself but  Dhamala refusing to present his identity card and further insisting to let him in, the  attending security personnel pounced upon Dhamala mercilessly”, say eyewitness report.

However, it is not yet in our knowledge as to how many slaps-two or seven-Dhamala had received.

Some even say that Dhamala lost his senses after the non-ending slaps that consumed some good minutes that he was awarded by the naughty Indian police personnel.

The question is not how many slaps Dhamala endured in his virgin soft cheek, the question is why this Nepali journalist was misbehaved?

Sources claim that Dhamala was the guest of the Indian foreign ministry. Why the Nepali journalist instead of being accorded a red carpet welcome was slapped by the Indian security men remains yet a mystery?

Is this the way to behave with the State guest, analysts here question.

Hopefully, Dhamala upon his return home will narrate the entire story as to how he was manhandled (RAM DHULAI) by the security agencies of a regime with whom he enjoys “my dear” relations since 1996. We feel disheartened by this ghastly incident.

Why only Dhamala? Everybody is required to present the Identity Card if Security Personnel needs to verify. Dhamala was slapped because he refused to show the identity card. Why are you connecting this simple case into the historic diplomatic relations of India & Nepal? Dhamala tolerated the whole incident as if there were nothing happened. Had he not chewed the salt of India, he would have already narrated the whole issue with Nepalese media. Mind it dear Editor!!

I think this incident has to be taken seriously, the Journalist, Rishi Dhamala, was representing Nepal at the time, and to be misbehaved by the Indian security personal in India presents a seriousness that needs to be thoroughly investigated. Many Nepalese may not like Rishi Dhamala and he may deserve to be criticized, but this incident is a different story. Apology must be demanded from the Government of India for this incident.

Rishi Dhamala deserves not one slap but several. He needs a couple of more with his underwear removed. Perhaps the Blue Diamond guys can take over after that.

Few years back, one Indian slapped a police officer in Tribhuban International Airport. Now Dhamala gets a couple of slaps. We don't have to wait a long to see Nepal Ministers getting slaps in Delhi. But, by no means, I do not think Dhamala do not deserve few slaps here and there.
