‘finish off’ journalists
The situation at Reporters Club became tense on Sunday as Nepal
Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) General Secretary Aang
Kaji Sherpa said that they would ‘finish off’ journalists.
The journalists condemned the protestors during a program organised by
Reporters Club in the Capital after Sherpa warned that serious action
would be taken if the journalists tried to retaliate. “We have heard
that the Federation of Nepali Journalists is organising a protest rally
against our strike. If it happens then we would not spare the
journalists, who kept mum during the strike demanding for Integrated Far
western state,” said Sherpa.
The journalists present in the program condemned Sherpa as soon as he made the statement. Following the verbal exchange, Sherpa and other NEFIN leaders left the hall with the security personnel.
While exiting Sherpa had warned to ‘finish off’ Reporters Club Chairman Rishi Dhamala and also took pictures of journalist Khila Karki who had spoken against Sherpa’s statement during the program.
Earlier, NEFIN General Secretary Sherpa had warned FNJ to boycott media and cease their advertisements if FNJ did not support the strike called by NEFIN.
