Press Chautari Nepal has condemned a life threat made on social media against Kaski-based female journalist and Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) central member, Sushma Poudel.

One Basant Karki allegedly threatened to kill journalist Poudel over news Poudel had filed.

Karki reportedly living in Canada, threatened Poudel on social media that he would make her see the fate of slain journalist Uma Singh, as per a complaint filed by Poudel at the District Administration Office, Kaski.

The complaint has accused Karki, a permanent resident of Gachok of Machhapuchchhre Rural Municipality, Kaski of using harsh and abusive words against the female journalist.

In a press note on Friday, Chautari's General Secretary Rajesh Rai demanded an immediate arrest of Karki and stern action against him, and ensuring personal and professional safety and security of journalists. RSS
