A day after Press Council Nepal looked for an elucidation for broadcasting a meeting with CK Raut, ABC Television issued an official statement shielding its demonstration. In its public statement, the TV channel said: As far as we probably am aware, the state has not announced CK Raut a terrorist.
And if the state considers Raut a terrorist, why is it letting him move around freely? Neither Raut is on Nepal Police’s most wanted list, And the Supreme Court, the sole interpreter of the constitution, has neither ordered his arrest nor sentenced him to prison. Nonetheless, the channel made it clear that Raut’s expressions contradict its editorial policy and the channel does not agree with Raut.
The channel noted that it has been receiving reactions after the interview with Raut was telecast on Wednesday. The channel said it is committed to the country, nationality and the people, adding: As the first news channel of the republic of Nepal, we have been telecasting news focusing on the interests and concerns of the public.
