Well by being secular, what will be the benefit? Will politicians stop having bribe, will people stop fighting? Wasn't "muluki ain" meant to abolish the discrimination set forth by caste system? Well, it is in the people that discrimination still exists, not in the Hindu religion itself. The secularism further will widen the gap, not between religion (as it was next to nil in Nepal) but between the casts also. "This is a new awakening for our nation. A nation where all religion and caste are equal. " Wasn't all religion equal before, in Nepal? Weren't people converting to other religion based on their own choice and judgement? Now what, the Everest should be taken out from Nepal's pride list, because people from tarai can't see it. Everest was an identity of Nepal, so was hinduism. The bottomline is the SPA didn't have mandate to put hand in this issue, they should have relied on people's vote so that the choice would have reflected majority of Nepalese.
