Seema Subedi and Facebook live video controversy
The controversy began earlier this week when Seema Subedi live-streamed herself on Facebook and talked about her opinions about the Gorkhaland movement, Nepali speaking people in India and ‘unfortunately’, she also said what she thinks about the Nepalese people in general; and well, she didn’t have anything good to say about the people in Nepal.
In addition to that she kept repeating her stand about how Indian Gorkhas and Nepalese are completely different; and how proud she is to be an Indian. Well that was nothing wrong and nobody would actually feel bad with that but then she probably crossed the line by saying Nepalis go to India to do the dishes.
As soon as her live video ended and it was saved on her Facebook handle; dozens of Nepali Facebook pages, YouTube channels and online portals picked the story and talked about how she insulted Nepal and its people.
However; as soon as Seema realized the magnitude of her ‘mistake’ and came to know how furious people are, she was live on Facebook again, on Sunday, to apologize. And this time she spoke in Nepali, unlike the first time when she spoke in Hindi. But looks like people are not in a mood to forgive her as she is still being criticized for her statements about Nepalis.
