This doctor Bhandari's statement is far removed from reality. He doesnot know any facts and acting onbehalf of some vested interest. Mr. Hem Raj Gyawali was high level government officer in fianace ministry and yes he became custom director but he belongs to a very good family and has good wealth and reputatio on his own. During the Panchayat era he was removed by one lady minister when Mr. Gyawali was doing his duty and fulfilling his reponsibility. When this lady minister was returning from a foreign trip something happened at the airport custom and later when Mr Gyawali got home he received his removal letter from the ministry. He could have fought back after 1990 but he did not. Two young guys Mr. Binod Gyawali and Mr. Kailash Sirohia are enthusiast entrepreneurs. They have struggled a lot. From opening a foreign good store to carpet thread factory to furniture shop. Begiining days of Kantipur was not so easy. Now when Kantipur has come long way and controlls three major media, everybody is just jealous. If any thing has brought professionalism in nepalese journalism field its 'Kantipur'. Everything else had and has become a mouth piece of a party or a person. I have seen reporter collecting money from the government officers and if government officers donot repond reporters will start character assassination. There are lot of people who wanted to associated with Kantipur on one way or the other when they could not they are trying hard to damage Kantipur's image. As I have said in the begining, Kantipur has come long way so its like "Hathi chale bazar kukur bhuke hajar" Thanks
