Nepali Times
Domestic Brief
On the box


There's no doubt about the glamour of television. But aren't politicians, enamoured with seeing themselves on the idiot box, over reacting? The Nepali Congress Central Working Committee found it a serious offense that state-run Nepal Television did not show faces of their top leaders-Girija Prasad Koirala, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai and Sher Bahadur Deuba-while covering the CWC's most recent meeting. Information and Communication Minister Jaya Prakash Prasad Gupta received a note from the CWC seeking an explanation (within three days) when the major Congress leaders didn't appear on the news bulletin. We don't blame Gupta, who may have a better understanding of just what people don't want to see. Now if only NC bosses reacted like that on other more pressing issues facing the nation.
