Jung's Daughter Makes it Big

It is not just an issue of lavish wedding that is bothering people. It is the timing, the volume and the indifference shown towards current Nepali situation. Well his daughter might deserve all the happiness in the world but what about vexing other bystanders as well as insiders. Pyarajung also had other daughters whose marriage was a mediocre and at that time he was a high ranking official (so he had access to all the amenities within army). But the fact that he was only able to afford such a pompous marriage only after being army chief for almost 4+ years proves the fact about the source of his expenditure (his inherited money.....ask anyone who is in the system and he will tell you how corrupt this guy is). Having such a lavish show off in between such a turmoil is trying to make a statement that "I simply don't care" (that too even when he was under probe as other three chiefs). Wouldn't it have been nice if he had simply resigned from the post in the ground of morality (his tenure has already expired one year ago, he was put for one additional year by the king) rather than have a secret conversation with Girija. If he had resigned and then performed the lavish ceremony, few people would have objection.
