I was hoping against the hope that Nepal as a nation would learn from this barbaric incident.

I just want highlight the role of so called Nepali Owned Media in the run up to this barbaric incident.

Kantipur had virtually stopped printing anything on the Hostage situation. If you look at last Monday's paper you will know what I mean. The news about about Girija being stopped at the airport was selling more and there you go, it was all about the Girija and him being stopped at the airport and the strike called by Nepali congress. Even Bijay Kumar and his well received Dishanirdesh was dedicated to this stupid incident with Mohd Mohsin. That was a sheer distraction from the larger issue at hand.

After incident, since the last two days in a news starved environment of Kathmandu, both Kantipur and Channel Nepal was full of losses incurred to their properties and lined up a spectacle of opinions leaders (politicians, police officers, pseudo human right leaders) to bereave thier situation and gave a minimal coverage to far more grave losses incurred to other businesses. (Qatar Airways is unsure about resuming flights to Nepal. Today QA is the only decent airlines connecting Nepal to the rest of western world .) There was absolutely no mention of these grave incidents.

Do you know that even Khetan owned Mayos Noodles Headquartere was badly damaged and so was a Newar owned Motor Cycle show room, and korean shop with losses incurred to about 2 crores

Finally, this bunch of Media leaders in Kantipur and Channel Nepal/ Space Time should demote themselves top the role of Peons for thier Marwari/ Kashmiri/ BahunBosses.

And I also think this Iraq incident was not just a failure of a particular government. It was a comprehensive faliure of a NATION STATE. We all should own to this huge failure.

We all meaning (also sons and daughters of corrupt politicians and dealmakers of Kathmandu currently studying in the US of A ( probably 40% of all sajhaites), Half educated Nepalis currently abroad who just does not understand that Hills Bahuns are just 9% of the Nepalese Population and chettris are just 15%. Together they make just 24%)

Janasewa, your post is the best I've read on this matter. Kantipur and other news papers definitely acted irresponsibly by not following up on the hostage news and filling their news paper with Girija's TIA incident. The newspapers deserved the vandalism.

ya, where anything reaches beyond tolerance than the fate is same weather it is MANPOWER or KANTIPUR or CHANNEL NEPAL. Why is Kailash Sirohiya shouting so much in his own TV Channel and Why is that journalist shouting at Homeminister in Channel Nepal.

Why are the agents of Quatar Airways, PIA and other companies being damaged remained silent?

U know this is a strange country? When a journalist is killed then the Nation(journalists, Human right activists etc) jumps. But when a innocent people is killed in barbaric way it is just news. Why this? On wednesday more than 70 vechiles were destroyed, MANY MASJID is destroyed, Then why so IMPORTANCE TO KANTIPUR AND CHANNEL NEPAL??????

everything is bloody politics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,may be our minister have led them killed in iraq coz i heard that indian hostages were freed for paying the ransom. i am sure they could have asked for ransome. u know our leader and king so they say no....................
that is why they got killed
i am getting some scene here

Why politicians especailly Girija P. are given so much importance? G.P. is a total failure in the politics of Nepal. We would have been better off without such people in our lives. Difinitely, I agree with janasewa on these issues. Reporters are serving none other than their own interest. They probably saw their future in G.P.'s chhatrachhaya. Whom should you trust?
Lots of incidence happens in Airport. What is so important that he is stopped? Nepalese have too much time to waste on such a wasteful information.
peace

kasto thik kura gareko. Ahile kantipur or space time out of track bhayeko chha. You are 100% right.

I'm fully supporting to you janasewa ji, even i'm a bahun baje. in every corner going to be too much in nepal. like a crying of kantipur and this ala ..patrakar.. ita.

haina aajakal kantipur ko estar gorkhapatra ko jastai khaske ko kina hola?

Aajkal ta nepali media India ko supporter bhayeka chhan re.
