Lucky Slap: Jhalanath Khanal becomes Nepal’s new Prime Minister
Nepal's parliament on Thursday [February 3, 2011] elected Jhalanath Khanal, Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal - Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), as the 34th Prime Minister of Nepal, ending a seven-month-long political deadlock.
Recently Jhalanath Khanal was on the flash after his own party member dislodged a tight slap in his left cheek. A former UML supporter Devi Prasad Regmi ran into Khanal and slapped on his left cheek in Itahari. The 52-year-old attacker justified his action, saying Khanal and political leaders like him were to blame for promising the moon to people and keeping the country hostage for long. “When I saw Khanal and other leaders, I could not help but slap him, for these are the people who are responsible for ruining the country,” said Regmi, holding his head high. He was later taken to Area Police office, Itahari.
