The National Society for Democratic Press has said that repression and interference on the free press is not acceptable.
Society has said that it is regrettable that Kailash Sirohia, president of Kantipur, was arrested by sending dozens of armed police under the instructions of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane for publishing/broadcasting information about cooperative fraud cases through the media. In the press release issued by Damodar Prasad Dabadi, president of
society on Wednesday, it is mentioned that the government has demonstrated authoritarianism by suppressing the press. Home Minister Lamichhane used to attack and threaten the independent press even in public functions and parliament. Condemning the government's move to arrest media entrepreneurs in the name of investigation, the society wants to strongly protest against the actions of the vindictive government," the statement said. The
society has also called upon all media houses and media workers to unite against media interference.
