He accused social media users of wallowing in rumors of the government’s decision to backtrack on its plan to host IIFA awards in Kathmandu.
“Some media outlets are publishing news about IIFA awards without being objective,” said Dhakal.
Meanwhile, he vented his anger on some experts whom he accused of spreading rumors about the bills tabled by the government at the parliament.
“Some experts used to get an opportunity to contribute to the drafting of laws enacted by parliament under the auspices of some donor agencies in the past. They are critical of the government because bills are now tabled at the parliament without consulting experts funded by international non-governmental organizations”, Minister Dhakal said.
