During the demonstration demanding the restoration of the monarchy in Tinkune of Kathmandu on Friday, a lot of money was lost. In that sequence, two people including a journalist were killed and many were injured. Protesters also attacked the office of Kantipur Television.
Dozens of other public houses, commercial establishments, media, political party offices and dozens of government and private vehicles were vandalized and set on fire.
Brief conversation with writer Home Minister Ramesh who came to Kantipur Television for inspection on Saturday :
How has the government viewed this incident?
has become the realization of more sorrow and pain at the end . Media is the carrier and protector of democracy. Media has played an important role in advancing democracy. Also, Kantipur is a leading media house in the country. It has done all the work for democracy. Friday's incident is not compatible with any political philosophy, consciousness, recognition. Such an incident is absolutely criminal.
Knowing that people are inside the house, what political ideas and philosophy do the work of setting fire from outside? Which party throws stones at a fair and independent media house? A journalist died in the fire. commercial culpex, arson, looting and ransacking of private houses . The vehicle was set on fire . Such incidents will not be forgivable under any circumstances. When the situation started to go out of control, force had to be used to protect the life and wealth of the citizens. However, due to the security personnel adopting a lot of restraint and patience, there could not be too much damage. This is not a political demonstration. Chaos is . The constitution allows for peaceful demonstrations. He has given freedom to speak his mind .
The government has never interfered with any program of the government in a peaceful manner. There are so many social networks. Media houses are . Everyone has had their say . The government is being criticized and criticized. The government has not requested and prejudiced anyone. It is unforgivable that such a terrifying and barbaric incident took place contrary to the constitution, law, and dignity. According to the law, investigation, investigation and action will be done .
There is a police station just 70 meters away from the office of Kantipur TV, and despite being warned the day before that this might happen, the police could not come on time.
Security forces also have their own limits and constraints. There was also a situation where he drove the car and trampled the soldier. On the other hand, the prohibition had to be lifted . There is a fire. Had to look at that. There may have been some delay in the arrival of the security personnel in order to fulfill their duties. Now such a situation will not happen . The government will provide security for all media houses and citizens' lives. Now there is no agreement. Acts contrary to the constitution, laws and unwanted activities are not forgivable under any circumstances . Not tolerable . Even in yesterday's incident, we will proceed according to the law. Now again, the question of security will not be allowed to arise in any media house.
The royalists are announcing that they will hold a bigger movement from Chait 21st. They are targeting journalists. When will we get the feeling of full security from the state ?
I'm done. Now full security will be arranged . We will not allow any mediapersons and journalists to have an atmosphere of fear .
Who does the state hold responsible for yesterday's incident? Durga Prasai, who commanded the movement, is still absconding. When will he be arrested?
Whoever organized it, announced it, should take responsibility for this incident. Some people involved in the incident have been arrested. The investigation is ongoing . During the investigation, all those who seem to be involved are arrested. Action will be taken . The case is being prosecuted . There is no agreement on this. The police investigates those who do criminal activities seriously and deeply. Yesterday's incident has demonstrated what kind of movement it is. Even before this, I remember that the first attack by the king was in Kantipur.
When there are activities against democracy, Kantipur is always a target. Therefore, it is clear how much Kantipur is in favor of democracy. If there is no democracy, such attacks will happen. Sometimes with stones, sometimes by making the pen to be closed and sometimes by applying censorship on TV and newspapers. We all have to fight together to protect democracy.
The main commander of yesterday's incident is Durga Prasai . It is said that not only him but also Gyanendra Shah was involved in this incident. Will he be investigated or not? We have started a
investigation. All those connected with this incident are investigated, investigated, what is seen . The government takes action .
Yesterday's cabinet meeting was said to be about taking away the facilities of Gyanendra Shah . What is the preparation of the government? We have been doing
research and investigation. What is seen, the government will decide .
Has the government decided to cut Gyanendra Shah's security personnel?
That decision hasn't been made yet. We are investigating yesterday's criminal incident. If the research and investigation shows, another decision will be made.
So far, the government has not been able to arrest Durga Prasai in the capital. Why couldn't they be arrested? The
search continues . Will be caught soon.
