Panas Minister not Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Puspa Kamal Dahal inaugurates the third National Conference of South Asian Free Media Association at Jiri, Dolakha District

Ramji Dahal of FNJ gets injured as the police barged into the journalists during their protest at Maitighar, Kathmandu

The two pictures are taken on the same day, Monday, December 22, 2008. There was protest staged by Federation of National Journalist against the attack on Himal Media on Sunday. Journalists protested, Police barged the protest and a journalist was injured. But at the same time our Prime Minister was busy lighting ‘panas’ and inaugurating the third inauguration of South Asian Free Media Association (what an irony) and doing bla bla bla. There is new constitution to be written in the country, but our PM, always busy attaining programmes, inaugurating festivals. There is strike everyday, people being killed and kidnapped everyday in terai, but our pm stills lights up panas, receives peace award (recently he was awarded Dr. dilli raman regmi peace award). Thats why nepalese people made you the PM, just to inaugurate festivals, programme and light up PANAS. First PM of GANATANTRA NEPAL or GUN-TANTRA NEPAL, PANAS MINISTER not PRIME MINISTER.

Attack on media.

Around 50 YCL cadres barged into the office of Himamedia at Hattiban, Lalitpur. They attacked the staffs who were in the meeting including Editor of Nepali Times, Kunda Dixit, CEO Ashutosh Tiwari and Executive Editor Kiran Nepal and injured ten staffs. This is not the first time there has been attack on media. This is the press freedom of NEW NEPAL. I think the government forgot, its the media which is the backbone of ‘Jan Andolan-2′ and the politicians are at the place now. Media, the fourth pillar of country is not safe, the how a normal life in this country be. Shame on you who show their cowardness attacking media. SHAME ON YOU. More you want to terrorise the media, more powerful it gets. (more photos)
