Kathmandu, Aug 4 : The Nepal Government has said that the issue of Vice President Parmananda Jha taking his oath in Hindi is ‘political in nature’, rather than constitutional.

Replying to a show cause notice, the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers said that the issue deserves to be scrapped prima facie by the Supreme Court.

It further argued that the apex court would not consider the issue as Jha also signed the oath in the language specified in the Constitution.

The apex court had issued a show cause notice to the Prime Minister''s Office and the Vice President after taking up a writ petition filed by advocate Bal Krishna Neupane.
