How dare this KHURSANI MAILA going to repoter's CLub... In the aftermath of Wagle verdict - The conviction of Chiranjivi Wagle by the Special Court was hailed by all. The ordinary law-abiding Nepali citizens, who were losing trust, hope and expectation from the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and the Special Court, have finally something to cheer about. Corruption should be discouraged and people like Wagle should be made untouchables in our society so that others learn and see the ultimate fate of the corrupt. Like everyone, I was also pleased to read the news of the conviction in all the dailies but was again shocked to see Wagle delivering a speech at the Reporterýs Club. I do not understand what the Reporterýs club was trying to achieve by highlighting Wagle in the media. Wagle was seated along with the former Attorney General of Nepal. Wagle had almost two years to plead his innocence at the CIAA and at the Special Court. Why did Reporters Club invite him and send a wrong message to the people that the verdict of the Special Court was doubtful? Responsibility of the media should be to investigate and publish the activities of the corrupt so that the governmental bodies concerned can take necessary action and punish the culprit. I will not be surprised if one of these days Charles Shobhraj is invited to the Reportersý Club and asked to lecture on "how to be an international criminal." Please do refrain from causing confusions in the minds of the common people. Dorji Tsering Sherpa Galfutar, Kathmandu
