Kathmandu: Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Prithvi Subba Gurung, has vowed legal action against the guilty persons in the violent protests orchestrated by the ex-king supporters at Tinkune, Kathmandu on March 28. For this, investigation is forwarded to find facts, he added.
According to National News Agency Nepal, Minister Gurung received a memorandum submitted by the Press Chautari Nepal, which drew attention to the incident at the Ministry today. He expressed his commitment that the government would bring the guilty ones to book by forming a probe committee. He argued that the former king had forgotten the commitment made with political parties, thereby resorting to a violent path in the name of agitation.
“Royalists should take responsibility for the violent demonstration. The former king will also be included in the investigation. Legal action will be taken against those involved in murder, violence, and robbery incidents,” mentioned the Minister.
Stating that attacks on media houses are condemnable, he shared that the government would provide support to media houses after evaluating the losses caused by the demonstrators.
The Communication Minister informed that the government would ensure treatment for all those injured in the protest.
