All should protect the sentiment of nation and nationality: Captain Thapa

Annapurna Media Network Chairman Captain Rameshwar Thapa said that all should protect the sentiment of nation and nationality.

He said so while celebrating the 21st anniversary of the Annapurna Post, the flagship publication of Annapurna Media Network, at the meeting hall of the Annapurna Corporate Tower in Tinkune on Sunday.

"We have a good relationship with everyone. But we cannot be slaves to anyone. We cannot remain silent if anyone raises questions on the issue of nationality," he said.

"National and international issues we have raised are clear to all and everyone is praising the works," Captain Thapa said.

He claimed that the Annapurna Post was the only national daily which had published the facts about the historically established "chuchhe map" (new political map) of Nepal.

"The work was very challenging. Many newspapers tried but in vain. We became successful because of our constant efforts," he said.

On the occasion, Editor Akhanda Bhandari said that the Annapurna Post is the mirror of society.

"Journalism is the mirror of society. We are showing the mirror the Annapurna Post," he said.

He further said that the Annapurna Post is the voice of voiceless people.

Similarly, Annapurna Media Network Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sanat Neupane said that courage and decency needed in journalism. 

"We have both of them. We have been working without caring about the fear and threats of anyone," he said. 

The Nepali daily has been in publication continuously since May 03, 2002.
