Spokesperson Mahat said that the government is trying to control the media, keep journalists in fear and attack the freedom of the press. "Yesterday, the way the home administration was presented against the president of Kantipur Media Group, Kailash Sirohia. We believe that is vindictive. Recently, we object to Kantipur's chairman Sirohia being arrested in a vindictive manner based on the fact that Kantipur has continuously presented the matter of the Home Minister himself committing co-operative fraud. It is seen that the government intends to control the media and keep them in fear,' he said.

The government has shown insolence in weakening the constitution, in such a situation, the Congress will not sit idly by. We will inform the people about this matter at the local level.'
