When workers demanded their rights, Himalmedia owners hired goons to beat them up. More than a dozen workers were injured during the attacks.
The media house has been unlawfully firing Maoist-aligned workers from their jobs or transferring them to remote areas. The government has already warned Himalmedia against such activities but the company is persisting with its political vendetta.
Himalmedia supported the monarchy throughout the war and continued its support up to the CA elections. The media house has been exploiting its own workers for the reason that they hold different political views. It publishes misleading and biased coverage of nationalist and pro-people issues. The paper has been known to be silent about the supporters of imperialism and expansionism in Nepal. Its role against press freedom has shocked media houses in Nepal.
