?????
Last year, when former DPM Ram Chandara Poudel arranged
a press conference just before releasing Dinesh Sharma (?)
and his colleagues, the Masked but fake Human Right Activist
PR Tuladhar made a lot of hues and cries that the press
conference/press release is troublesome to the peace talk.
Now, Maoists did the same trick because they did not first
release / HANDOVER the detained police, but, asked them
to lie in front of Press (who knows whether they were really
speaking the truth, or taped enough to speak in favor of
Maoists, thats yet to know) first and then, only handed over
to Red Cross peoples. In this scenarios, it smells something
different, and if the press report that Police were very
well treated . . . blah blah. then, we need to make
following imaginations:
1. The press reporters were selected groups to suit
/favor Maoist propaganda.
2. They asked only the questions that gives positive
side or taped statements, thats what we call dramas.
3. The Police were threatened, if they speak the truths
about Maoists. Most of the police come from rural areas,
so they can never speak the truth anything against
Maoists because of fear of putting their family members
in trouble or in high risk of retaliation.
4. Maoists never rejected Royal Nepal Army (did I miss
anything) or denied the RNA 's claim that Maoists requested
Army to stop and pledged to sit to peace talk, and it
happened as RNA claimed. When RNA gave another
press release, Mr. Mahara even stopped talking against
royals or making royal palace like WTC or Pentagon.
5. The police in recent few weeks, were brainwashed
with the aim of using them to boost deteriorating Maoist
image in public. All well planned. So, that they can speak
all things positively, just the way the field reporter
and journalists were treated, as cited by Pratyush Onta,
"hami gadi bata worlyu, maoist camrade le lin aye, and hami bicha
ma agadi pachadi maoist rebel, gardai rolpa pugyou,
hamro dhumdam swagat gariyo, maoist rebel sanga
kura gario, sabai hami jasta manche rahichan, feeling
pani hamro jasto rahich .... , and suddenly when
they detained free reporters, the press realised the
real face of Maosits". Well planned to hide the reality.
6. Lets see.

You can read Kantipur Daily, how poor is the reporting on those
police released.
1. Either police did not speak as I pointed out before.
2. Police spoke, Kantipur did not want to report after
Kantipur Editor Ghimire in road accident, many believes
its a payment version of the well known 4lakh retaliation.
3. The reporting is confined though very long, on Faltu
talks, to confuse general readers, you can understand
after reading from head to tail.
4. How the article of Pratyush Onta works fine with
nepal's reporters and human rightists who are in fact
neither journalists nor human rightists but masked in
those forms to make public fool. As the lower class
govt. employee, the Police pointed out in the
press confernce. Whether our press community
or journalists have any SHAME left? I guess they
never had, and I do not see it will be there in near
future.
The journalists and human rights rushed to Holeri
when they heard taht Army sorrounded Maosits,
but, once they reached there and realized that
Maoists got safe passege, they never felt a need
to chase the true reporting. Their main aim of
joggling to Holeri was to find govt.'s weakness and
create an environment to so that the Maosits can
safely escape from the RNA 's trap.
