FNJ demands legal action against guilty

The Sudurpaschim State of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) has demanded legal action against those involved in the incident of manhandling and abusing journalists.

Kamal Saud, a reporter for Dinesh FM and Dinesh Khabar, was thrashed and abused by Harka Bahadur Deuba of Dhangadhi-5 and his son Thakkar at the Livestock Division of the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperative while covering news on Sunday.

Issuing a press release, the general secretary of FNJ Sudurpaschim State Yogesh Rawal demanded legal action against those involved in misbehaving with journalists.

The FNJ has condemned the act of harassing journalists with physical attack and abusive words when there was a right seeking legal recourse if any media content was not deemed satisfactory.
