Is it state of Nepali journalism or state of mind?

Hi frens!

I can't avoid going through Nepali newspapers since I am a Nepali citizen. Editorial pages of country's national dailies are filled with articiles and opinions on Prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala's recent remark on 'baby king'. All the articles are based on the hypothesis on what Nepali media reported was true. Forget about these columnists and opinion makers--it is their job to provoke people and are free to make any kind of opinion no matter on what base they are forming their opinion--
Here is what and how nepali dailies carry news....All Nepali media came up with the news quoting Kishore Shrestha, editor of Jana Aastha weekley, populary known as gossip vernacular.
Actually, Koirala was talking to a delegation of Pakistani journalists where representatives of weekly-fortnight newspapers Network of Nepal were also present.
Shrestha was present at the meeting on the capacity of office bearers of the network. After the meeting, he issued a press release quoting Koirala.
All Nepali newspapers came up with the press release. Not a signle reporter of any dailies even bothered to verify with sources near to Koirala. Firends, I know reporters don't have access to Koirala to verify his remark. But, they could have tried to verify it with Dr Suresh Chalise, PM's foreign affairs advisor, who is found to have frequently quoted in Nepali media. They could have also contacted Pakistani journalists to verify it. The release that Shrestha issued might be true. However, with Koirala's denial to have made the remark with reporters, opinions formed on the "forceful hypothesis" that Koirala had said are absolutely ridiculous.
It don't know the fact. Koirala might have told it nor might not. As he himself denied the fact and alleged the reporters of misquoting him due to reporters' "Low English Comprehension Level" , opinion, articles, analysis on "forceful hypothesis" are nonsese.

Am I right friends?

What a nonsense decision?

Hi frens,

Our so-called historical legislature-parliament on June 12 decided that it can abolish monarchy if the monarchy conspires against the elections to the constituent assembly....
Just go by what Speaker Subas Nembang said to the legislature---"We can remove the king if he acts against the constitution, if he assumes executive powers unconstitutionally and against the wishes of the people."
What a nonesense decision..who will decide that the monarchy acted against the constitution (you know "the King" doesn't exist in our great interim constitution and how can a constitution tell anything about the institution that has not been mentioned)..

frens, the most ridiculous thing is:::how can this caretaker parliament do once the king assumes executive powers..what a nonesense, is not it??

This is just to fool us..who desperately want to abolish not only the king but also the culture of kingship from this country...
What do you think
???

PM vs YCL

Hi friends,

Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala's comment on Young Communist League (YCL) invited furore from his alliance partner CPN-Maoist's rank and file. The comment not only became an issue of heated arguements but edit-page of many national dailies are filled with the reaction and counter reaction to PM's comment.

We all know..YCL's activities are criminal. They never seem and work as responsible organisation of any political parties...Many people, if they are not extreme lefts, will agree to me on this point. Maoists, whatever people think, are not credible in anyway. This is my humble perception...(Hummm, don't think this is my opinion).. .They talk sweets on face but do exactly the opposite...(prachanda's revealation about the party's ties with late King Birendra is the evidence on it....frens, wait, i will write another piece on it..)

But, more objectionable is the way our humble Prime Minister made harsh comment on the YCL. ...ok.. i'll make the term more soft. it is irresponsible...PM Koirala, as I think, is comparatively responsible or say credible leader of this country..That's why he has been trusted to lead the process of making New Nepal...But, his credibility has gone over this comment on the YCL..

Ok..I won't say, credibility gone..because he can regain it by taking action against the YCL...First, he should not have made such comment publicly or if he is really saying it with due deliberations..he must take action against the YCL...at least to regain his loosing credibility...

Second, Koirala must have known he could have made his fellow leaders to make such comments to warn them..But, he did himself ... but in a very wrong time..the day after "corrupt" banker Sitaram Prasai (who was shielded by prominent leaders including GP himself) was taken under control by the YCL in the way millons of people wanted.

Koirala must know... times have changed ..not changed only....it has changed alot...His traditional mentality is not going to work now..he should know he is going to be outdated if he can't keep pace with the wishes of young generation...the days of safeguarding power and chair...by political manouvering and hiring people on cash,, have gone now..people want change...a bold and straight forward policies and working style...

Yes...people are not happy with YCL in anyway..Koirala may gain sympathy only if he can take action against the "Young Criminal League"...to make people terror-free and ensure there is no environment of fear to vote during CA elections...

Go..go..on PM....take action against YCL..now it has become ur personel credibility issues..

Get...Set...Go...
