ITAHARI-The kings of other countries lead ordinary lives. They will wear poor man's clothes and even eat ordinary food. But during his trip to eastern Nepal our king stayed at the regional headquarters of the APF where the walls of the VIP guesthouse was torn down to build a toilet costing Rs 200,000. After the king's departure the toilet was locked up and no one is allowed to use it. Even when women political activists were detained inside the room, they were not allowed to use the royal bathroom-they were asked to use the police constables' toilet that does not have even a working light. Female inmates finally concluded the agitation to use the \'regressive toilet' was futile and gave up the agitation.
