Fake fake as there is repetition of countries dont you people edit before posting it
Security issue bhanera nahune hola last ma!
We heartly welcome IIFA in Nepal, but we cannot pay IIFA to be held in Nepal. We cannot pay billions to IIFA just to be held in Nepal. We can help with security, hospitality, logistics and with any kind. So its your choice to IIFA to be held in Nepal or IIFA not to be held in Nepal. and after all if our government pay for IIFA,we people will not tolerate this. Any thing can happen to government or tourism board or for the guest too. Thank you?
