A protest rally that started from the NPU office marched to the south gate to Singha Durbar and turned into a protest assembly. The participants of the rally carried placards and shouted slogans calling for taking action against the murderers, ending impunity and guaranteeing the security of journalists.[break]
At the programme, NPU president Kiran Pokharel said that the statement made by the Prime Minister in a way to protecting the culprits of journalist Thapa´s murderers was saddening and shameful.
Leader of the civil society Dr. Sundarmani Dixit said that since the Prime Minister´s statement aimed at absolving journalist Thapa´s killers promoted impunity, stressing the need for creating public opinion against this.
Human rights activist Charan Prasain also said that it was objectionable that the Prime Minister, the chief executive of the country, made such a despicable statement which goes against the spirit of the human rights.
Senior journalist Harihar Birahi, Dr. Kedar Narsingh KC, advisor of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) Poshan KC and NPU general secretary Shiva Lamsal vociferously criticized the prime minister´s statement aimed at obstructing the legal process for taking action against the killers of journalist Thapa.
