"Lessons from another emergency" (#101) by CK Lal is yet another example of how narrow minded and arrogant he is in his writings. He tries to make the readers believe that Krishna Sen was no journalist in the "usual sense" because he was the editor of the pro-Maoist papers which he terms "propaganda sheets". Mr Lal could you take the trouble of giving us a list of papers published in Nepal that are not the propaganda sheets of either the government or political parties? You call Krishna Sen a pamphleteer. What do you think you are? What do you think of your friends working in Gorkhapatra, Rising Nepal and most of the weeklies? Do they ever make honest efforts to "separate news from views"? Aren't your views biased? Your efforts to justify (albeit indirectly) the killing of Mr Sen in police custody is utterly abhorrent.
