AUGUST 13, 2008 Freedom Forum strongly condemned attack carried out by some journalists against Executive Officer Jagadish Poudel and indecent behavior against Chairperson Rajendra Dahal and Director General of Information Department Sridhar Gautam at Press Council Nepal office on July 30, Wednesday over the recently released newspaper classification.
They resorted to launch attack at Press Council Nepal citing that recently carried out newspaper classification was biased and partial.
There are legal ways to express own grievances and concerns as the Council has already formed three-member committee to investigate in to he complaints in this regard; it was violent and hollow means to have own voice heeded, said Freedom Forum.
