The Federation of Nepali Journalists and other stakeholders have demanded that the Public Service Broadcasting Bill registered in the National Assembly be scrapped.

Speaking at an interaction organised by the umbrella organisation of Nepali journalists today, FNJ President Govinda Acharya alleged that the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology had formulated the bill without incorporating the suggestions submitted by it earlier.

“The government did not give any space to the views and suggestions of the FNJ in the bill. The government drafted the bill in such a manner as to maintain its ownership over the public media in contravention of international norms and generally accepted principles of public service broadcasting.
