Impotent Government and abducted Journalist

Nepal government and its seven political alliance shows its weakness when it comes to illegal activities of at least one political party. Birendra Shah, a journalist, was abducted for a month on 5 October 2007.

This incident highlights the insecurity in the country under which people have to rely on.
The disappearance/ abduction of Journalist named Birendra Kumar Shah shows the impotence of the government when it comes to handle the illegal activities of at least one political party CPN (Maoist). This journalist has been disappeared for a month from 5 of October 2007. When media fought against it, Home Minister, Prime minister and Maoist promised to bring out the fact of this unfortunate incident to public. A high-level probe committee formed by CPN (Maoist) take out the investigation. And found out that he was shot dead in Bara District. Lal Bahadur Chaudari, Ram Ekwal Satani and Kundan Phoujdar were involved in the killing of Sah. These Cadres abduct him and his colleague on the context of giving news on timber smuggling. These
Maoist Cadres opened fire at him and buried him somewhere near Sukhuwa.

This incident helps government to focus on the security situation in the country not only for Journalist but for the ordinary people trying to live their insecure life. This kind of incident points the growing sense of impunity that some of the so called political party is enjoying. This incident has drawn much needed attention as this is about a Journalist’s abduction and main reason for media to highlight this unfortunate incident. This incident highlights the insecurity under which people have to live. But, let us raise the question for other common people, too.
