Journalists of Khotang staged a dharna at the district administration office on Thursday, claiming that the 'Koshi State Mass Media Bill' promoted by the Koshi State Government is a direct attack on the journalism sector and freedom of expression.
The protest was held for one hour under the leadership of the Khotang branch of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists. Considering that the provisions contained in the bill are contrary to the spirit and spirit of full freedom of the press guaranteed by the constitution, the federation has also demanded that it be completely repealed. Haribol Acharya, president of Khotang branch of the Federation of Journalists, has said that if the bill is not repealed, there will be another strong protest.
"Since the bill contains points contrary to the spirit and sentiments of complete press freedom guaranteed by the constitution, if the said point is not repealed, there will be another strong movement," said Acharya.
