PM Dahal to hold a discussion on right to information

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' is going to hold a discussion on matters relating to right to information with the stakeholders on Monday.

The Prime Minister is also going to discuss about the decision made by the Information Classification Committee regarding which information to be made public and which not. The discussion is being organized after the stakeholders drew the attention of the Prime Minister towards the decision taken by the Committee, said the Prime Minister press expert Manohari Timilsina.

The Committee had taken the decision on December 27. The decision by the committee was reportedly taken without consulting with the higher authorities about the same. The government's serious attention has been drawn towards the concerns expressed by various quarters regarding the decision taken by the Committee, said Timilsina.

Necessary decision will be taken to address the problem after discussing with the stakeholders tomorrow. The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Press Council, Department of Information, Federation of Nepali Journalists and others stakeholders have been invited to the discussion.
