Inaugurating the seventh general convention of the Broadcasting Association of Nepal (BAN) – a standard organization of commercial radios, today, he highlighted the independent role of the journalism sector.

He advised journalists to practice free and independent journalism to overcome challenges. He also urged the media fraternity not to push the media house to politics.
NA Chair Timilsina stressed the need to pick leadership on consensus so that s/he can drive the institution independently.
With the efforts being made to pick a new leadership on consent fails, BAN is going for a voting process on Sunday to choose the administration.
