Treasury Of Lord Pashupati In Kathmandu
By KTM Metro Reporter
February 10, 2011: deciding to open the treasury of Lord Pashupati in Kathmandu in the name of depositing the treasures in banks and keeping some items in a museum on January 25, 2011 just a few days before leaving his office, former Prime Minister Madhav Nepal has almost stolen the treasures of Lord Pashupati if Bharat Jangam has not immediately gone to the Supreme Court of Nepal and has appealed for an order not to open the treasury of Lord Pashupati.
The bench of justices Mohan Prasad Sitaula and Sushila Karki has given the continuity to stay order on not opening the main treasury (mool dhukuti) of Lord Pashupati today until a final ruling of the Supreme Court of Nepal. On January 31, 2011, a single bench of Justice Girish Chandra Lal had issued the stay order to the government hearing on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Bharat Jangam to save the treasures of Lord Pashupati from stealing by greedy former Prime Minister Madhav Nepal.
Bharat Jangam has challenged the decision of the Madhav government on opening the main treasury of Pashupati Temple: one of the holiest Hindu shrines in the Hindu world, at the Supreme Court of Nepal stating the government has no right to do that. Hindus believe that the treasury has remained padlocked for thousands of years should not be opened.
Hearing on the case, the justices have said that the government opening the treasury of Lord Pashupati will make an irreparable damage to it; so, the government should not open the treasury until the ruling of the Supreme Court of Nepal on the case; they also ordered the government to provide the apex court with the explanation within 15 days why the government has made such a move.
The cabinet of Madhav Nepal has decided to open the treasury on the pretext of depositing the gold, silver and cash in the central bank, and displaying other items in the showcases of museums.
