The Federation of Nepalese Journalists has said that it has taken seriously the incident of the arrest of Kailash Sirohia, president of Kantipur Publications Limited, from the office of Kantipur Dainik.
General Secretary Roshan Puri issued a statement on Tuesday and said that the arrest of Sirohia, who pledged to help in the judicial investigation regarding the allegations against him, has been confirmed as vindictive.
'Kantipur Dainik, which has been continuously following up on various allegations against the government's Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane, and its editorial leadership and the entire communication sector, the comments made by the Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Lamichhane, which has been defaming the entire media sector, are of the opinion of the Federation that the arrest of Chairman Sirohia is confirmed as vindictive. The statement said.
He said, "Even though he will always be with the investigation conducted according to the law, the Federation of Journalists will not accept the abuse of state power with the intention of restricting the freedom of press and expression." "The federation is with the editorial leadership of Kantipur to move forward without being influenced by this incident and without being distracted from the work of publishing truthful news," the statement of the federation said, "respecting the freedom of the press and expression, and complying with the guarantee of complete freedom of the press ensured by the Constitution of Nepal." The federation strongly demands to do this.'
