Communications and Information Technology Minister and government spokesperson Prithvisubba Gurung has said that there is no point in opposing the ordinance brought by the government. He said that it is being opposed for political 'stuntbaji'.

Inaugurating the 8th session of Press Chowtari Nepal Lamjung Branch on Sunday in Bensi Sahar, Lamjung, he said, 'Bringing ordinances is a matter of constitutional rights, there is a provision in the constitution.' "The ordinance has been brought to improve the services of the people and ensure good governance, development and prosperity, no one has any basis to refute it," he said, "Considering the ordinance as an ordinance and opposing the ordinance is only political bias." It was submitted after the Parliament started. It should be passed within 60 days.' He explained that he brought the ordinance and did not run away from the parliament because of the obstruction in people's work.

In another context, he said that there is no reason to be afraid of the bill on the operation, use and regulation of social networks. Let's read this bill carefully. It has tried to identify today's problems, it has tried to solve them," he claimed. He said that he will not oppose this bill because he wants the development and prosperity of the country. Associations including the Nepal Journalist Federation have opposed it. I don't understand, I don't know why they protested,'' he said. Whoever is in favor of anarchy, who is in favor of instability, who is in favor of unrest, who is in favor of violence, will oppose the bill on the operation, use and regulation of social networks did Those who give correct information are not afraid of this bill. This bill has been brought with the belief that the freedom of the press should be guaranteed, it should be decent, it should be restrained, it should also be independent," he said. He accused the now called New Media and online media of spreading 'negative' propaganda in the society.
