AG Ojha blames Kantipur Daily for tampering his views

Kathmandu, Nov. 23- Attorney General Prof. Pawan Kumar Ojha demanded that the ‘Kantipur Daily’ be subjected to action for publishing a report, which had tampered his views that he expressed before the court on Monday.

“The daily needs to be booked for ‘contempt of court’, as it distorted the views I expressed in my pleading that justified the constitutionality of the Royal Commission for Control of Corruption (RCCC),” he told the special bench of the Supreme Court.

The news published in the newspaper was a twisted version of his arguments that was made in course of the hearing on the writ petitions filed at the court challenging the constitutionality of RCCC, he argued. “Media cannot tamper justice.”

Meanwhile, Justice Anup Raj Sharma ruling over the pleading of Ojha assured that the judicial part of the court would never be affected irrespective of what was printed in the media.
