Government assistance to WHF

The government has decided to assist Bharat Keshar Singh, president of World Hindu Federation with Rs 4.5 million in grant, reports say.

Reports say that Singh had demanded Rs 9 million for his organization.

The pro-king Hindu outfit would receive this amount to celebrate the federation's silver jubilee anniversary.

WHF is one of the advocates of the king's active participation in politics and had announced him to be the emperor of Hindus. WHF had already received the grant of Rs 1.2 million immediately after the royal takeover last year. nepalnews.com ia jan 31 06
