Kathmandu. The Federation of Nepalese Journalists has said that it has drawn serious attention to the statement made by National Independent Party President Ravi Lamichhane at the press conference.
In the press conference, Lamichhane made baseless and biased accusations against the Nepali media and made threatening statements, which is a serious attack on the freedom of the press and expression. “For a person who has been the president of the fourth largest party in the parliament and who has also been the deputy prime minister and the home minister, to lose his temper and express himself towards the media sector is an attack on the media sector as a whole,” the statement said. Expresses concern. With Lamichhane’s expression, the federation wants to make it clear that if any unpleasant incident happens, the responsibility of President Lamichhane and the National Independent Party should be taken.
The Nepali press, which has continuously fought for the establishment of the Federal Democratic Republic, protection of the press, and freedom of expression and civil rights, will not be deterred by threats from any party or individual, the federation said.
The Federation has said, ‘Although there is a provision that people who are not satisfied with the content published and broadcast in the media can proceed according to the prevailing methods and methods, it is the opinion of the Federation that it is objectionable and indecent to present in a threatening manner.’ The federation has asked Lamichhane to withdraw his statement and respect the constitutional rights of the press.
