Little difference between Ganesh Thapa & banned President of Mongolian FA

Of late, the alleged corruption charges against President of All Nepal Football Association Mr. Ganesh Thapa and some of his inner circle associates continue to snowball and make big headlines. It has become the center of national and international attention. Jolted by the recent turn of events, Mr. Ganesh Thapa is in full panic mode.   In a desperate attempt to hit back at critics and quell the situation, he along with his supporters, including his brother Kamal Thapa held a series of press meets only to backfire. Mr. Kamal Thapa pointed an accusatory finger at     some media people, defending his brother. He ridiculously accused journalists with vested interests of reprehensible attempt to discredit his brother. This is nothing but desperateness of Mr. Ganesh Thapa and his supporters’ circumstance.

The Public Accounts Commission of Parliament ’s decision to suspend President of All Nepal Football Association Ganesh Thapa from office for two months took everyone by surprise and is making headlines. This is a huge blow for Mr. Thapa who has been accused of corruption for sometime.   Seemingly, this time he     finds himself in a spot of bother and very challenging, intriguing circumstance. The     news triggered a firestorm of     public debate, outrage, criticism and media frenzy. On the other hand, the crusade led by two Vice-Presidents of    All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) Mr. Karma Tshering Sherpa and Bijay Narayan Manandhar with their supporters against Mr. Thapa    has a long way to go, no doubt. Nonetheless, they did score     a    moral victory. The probe conducted by the Public Accounts Commission   (PAC) held Mr. Thapa culpable on multiple charges of wide scale financial irregularities, misuse and abuse of power. The findings concluded that
