Do you think that professional associations like the Nepal Bar Association are too much linked to political parties like the NC and CPN-UML, and that this is bad for the credibility and independence and professionalism of the legal sector?

Little girl who sings national anthem:
She is just three years and three months of the age. Perhaps, none of the kid of this age can sing Nepali national anthem. But the People's Review scribe was surprised when the little girl, not a Nepali but a Chinese, was singing Nepalese national anthem very correctly.
She speaks Chinese very fluently; she knows some English and Nepali words.
She is the daughter of Political Councilor and Deputy Chief of Mission in the Chinese Embassy, Wang Wentian. She learnt the Nepali anthem in her nursery school.
