KATHMANDU, Sept 10: Chairman of All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU), the student wing of CPN-UML,  Nabina Lama has decided to file a case against social abuse on Facebook under the Electronic Transaction Act-2063 .


While attending various programs, leader Lama says, she is respectfully felicitated with a piece of khada (cloth) and while updating a few of such pictures on Facebook, she is often attacked with foul language, accusing her of going against Tamang culture.


She says, she is preparing to file a case for her self-respect and justice. "Nepal is a secular state, I respect all the races, languages and religions followed by the people of this country," she said talking to Republica.” “Only wearing a piece of khada, however, does not constitute profanity to my culture."
