Kathmandu: A status containing serious allegations has been posted on social media targeting Ain Mahar, the newly elected Member of the House of Representatives from the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). A young woman named Rasmila Dhami, who has been fighting a legal battle against Mahar for a long time, has defamed him on Facebook by calling him a 'rapist'.
Abusive Comments on Social Media
From a Facebook account operated under the name Rasmila Dhami, abusive and aggressive language has been used targeting Mahar and his supporters. She wrote in her post, "Spit on you m** sheep, now stay as slaves of rapist Ain Mahar 😂😂 Until he goes to jail, rapist Aine will now extract your oil [exploit you], serves you right 😁😁😁😁"*.
Her post has created a new wave on social media, sparking a virtual debate between Mahar's supporters and critics.
Long-standing Dispute and Legal Battle
The dispute between Rasmila Dhami and MP Ain Mahar is not new. According to the received information, Dhami has been leveling various serious allegations against Mahar for a long time, and a legal battle regarding this issue is currently ongoing between them.
Political and Social Background
Emerging from student politics, Ain Mahar is considered close to UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. There are discussions in political circles that he received the election ticket this time because he is Oli's confidant in the party's internal equations.
Along with his political reach, the subject of Mahar's financial status also becomes a topic of discussion from time to time. Some people even refer to him as a 'nouveau riche' who has made a sudden economic leap in a very short period.
Regarding this recent development and the serious allegations made on social media, no official response has been made public so far by Ain Mahar or his secretariat. It remains to be seen what impact these social media remarks—regarding a matter already in the legal process—will have on his political journey.
