Nepal: Man who hit politician hailed 'a hero'

A Nepalese man, Devi Prasad Regmi, hit the chairman of one the main political parties in his face. He said; he was angry, because they were destroying the country with their lack of political progress. There already have been 16 failed parliamentary elections since the PM Madhav Kumar had stepped down in June. Devi is supported by many people, 7.000, on a Facebook site and dozens have been posting comments on the site, thanking him for his action. In addition, after his release people came to his house. Either, he told reporters that no-one should imitate him and that he isn’t proud of his action.

I think, despite how angry you are, you should avoid violence, but in some situations it can’t be helped. It could be provoked too much that you can’t get a hold of yourself. I’m not saying that it’s allowed at that moment, but I can see his point. Afterwards, he hasn’t been proud of it, but probably he couldn’t stop himself anymore. And maybe it will help the situation there, because he has many supporters.
