Govt alerts press media
KOL Report
KATHMANDU, June 7 - The government on Wednesday called on all the press-media not to publish news and opinions that contravene the national unity and integrity.
It was informed at a press conference called by the government at the Radio Nepal meeting hall.
“Let no news and opinions that affect the nationality and mislead the people be published,” said Shiva Raj Joshi, the Minister for Information and Communication. No news that affect the public opinions adversely would do good for the country, he added.
He also appealed the publishers to uphold the 2048 Constitutional provisions binding on the press while publishing the news.
When asked why the deadly incident that took place inside the Royal Palace on Friday night was not informed on time, Minister Joshi said the government could not get the information from the place as the Palace was “sensitive”.
He also revealed that the government has opened a separate branch for information so as to provide easy access to news for the media. “The government is looking the media with hopes to escape the (present) turbulent situation”, the Minister said.
Minister of State for Information and Communication, Puskar Nath Ojha requested the press to publish only the factual news keeping in mind the critical situation. “ There are efforts to disrupt the peace and security for which press should come forward and help the government,” Ojha added. (yo)

Since India dominates so much of the economy of Nepal, isn't it interesting that an Indian paper blames the shootings on the Pakistanis.
Yes, you are correct, the story had a pro-India, anti-Pakistani bias. Not surprising. But some of the info is unreported anywhere else, specifically the death toll. Also, the Indian article claims the 'terrorists' executed the Royals and that the Crown Prince COULD NOT have done it. This is extremely important because it contradicts EVERYTHING the corporate media has tried to promote.
Here is an update:
In a stunning development, the alleged eyewitness to the Royal massacre may face court-martial for giving an unauthorized statement. Rajiv Shahi, who had tried to implicate the deceased Crown Prince in the attacks, is now under scrutiny, as is his version of the killings. See the following link for more details:
