""It's spreading like wildfire. The cultural identity is at stake. The fabric of the national unity is at stake," argues former deputy prime minister, Kamal Thapa. He views the Korean missionary work as an "organised attack on the cultural identity of the country". "Missionaries are working behind the scenes and exploiting the poor and ignorant people and encouraging them to convert to Christianity. "This is not a case of religious freedom. This is a case of exploitation in the name of religion," he says."
