KATHMANDU: Pop princess Britney Spears and her infant son apparently matter more to King Gyanendra's government in Nepal than the fates of hundreds of Nepalis caught in a quandary with the US government stopping issuing visas in the kingdom.

As as the US Embassy announced that it was reducing its activities, including closing the American Centre library and the consular section, putting on hold till further notice the processing of visa applications, the news found no mention in the state media.

The official daily, the Rising Nepal, chose to highlight pop princess Britney Spears' predicament instead. "Britney Spears' son falls from high chair", said a long story on the news page of the daily while another report on Child Welfare officials visiting the Spears' home made its way to the entertainment page.

What a JOKE !!!!

One of my rasons for hating India for poking their nose.

Rising Nepal did not print the news, coz it is Royal paper having ego clash with USA. Simple as that.

Indians , I really wish I be born the strongest ever pakistani Leader next life. That will definately be the end of India.
