Minister Tanka Dhakal's RAGE on the Peaceful Demonstration of the political parties, journalists, Human rights advocates LOOKS LIKE THE TRUE FACE OF THE GORKHALI RAGE OF A SLAVE FULL OF GORKHALINESS IN HIS FACE. KATHMANDU, March 31 - Information and Communication Minister Tanka Dahal on Thursday asked the political parties to choose between ?peace and terrorism? and warned that the government might enact tough laws against the parties should they continue to defy the government. Dhakal termed the agitating parties irresponsible. He blamed the parties of carrying out street demonstrations ?instead of helping the government to resolve the Maoist crisis dogging the nation.? ?The political parties should stop their clandestine association with the Maoists and stop going abroad to incite foreign powers to suspend aid,? Dhakal told a press conference. In an apparent reference to the recent coverage on Nepal in Indian media, Dhakal said ?the neighbouring country?s media was breaching the ethics of journalism by attempting to tarnish the image of the king.? When asked if the government would lift the curb on press freedom placed since Feb. 1, Dhakal said that the government could do so, provided that the media doesn?t encourage the terrorist activities.
