The first group of people to feel the pang of emergency seems to be journalists.
Today's kantipur reports Deshantar and Saghu are the latest victims.
I don't know about Saghu, but Deshantar is one of those weeklies which firmly
support the idea of democracy. It sometimes tries to insinuate the king is against
the constitution, but I don't find that accusation to be wrong.[Let me reaffirm, I
am not Congressi. Hell, not.] I , whenever I had time, used to read Deshantar,
and I generally found the newspaper to be very democratic. I don't know why
they were pursued this time.
I don't know what the intention of our prime minister or RNA is. May be they are
just blinkered in their quest to succeed in the mission. I wish them goodluck. But
they shouldn't expect others to be blinkered in their view also. Let the truth be
spoken.

Here is a nice article by Gunaraj Luitel, a fine journalist from Kantipur.
http://www.kantipuronline.com/kantipur_html/kantipur_news4.htm#4
It tells a sad tale about an innocent victim of RNA and police in this emergency.
I think when we commit mistake, we need to ,at least, say 'sorry' and promise
we won't repeat that again.
This story is really a very sad story. Please read when you have time.
