As long as our newspapers depend on some political party (or, one leader in this case), the debate of neutrality, in itself, is flawed.
The journalists are more worried about loosing the job! (read the comment written by the journalist Arun Baral – click to enlarge)
It seems, it is a very tough choice between the sustainability and neutrality.
Does this prove newspapers (National Dailies) are compromising their neutrality to sustain?
This is an old issue and I am not sure what happened afterwards. Does anybody know what the Supreme Court has ruled on the case?
It was UML’s minister for Local Development, Ram Chandra Jha, who was accused of being an Indian Citizen. The Nepali citizen certificate was found to be fake (as it was issued on Saturday, a government holiday).
Reports say that Mr. Jha is in possession of the Indian Residency Permit from Harlakhi area of Madhubani District, State of Bihar, India, issued on July 12, 2008, House Number 143. According to
the residency permit, Mr. Jha is an Indian national and his father Pulkit Jha too obviously is an Indian national.
