KATHMANDU: Cable and satellite television service providers in Nepal have banned Indian private news channels from airing "objectionable" content and false propaganda against the Nepalese prime minister.
According to a foreign news agency, on Thursday, Zee News reported that Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had sex with Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Hu Yanzhi. The channel also claimed that the Chinese ambassador was in touch with several leaders of the Prime Minister's Communist Party.
According to the international news agency, Nepali companies decided to shut down Indian channels after the Indian media ran objectionable news against the Nepalese Prime Minister. Dharpa Sharma, vice-chairman of Max Digital TV, said, "We consider it our moral duty to stop the transmission of such material to the public after it is aired by Indian channels.
Earlier, Indian channels were also accused of spreading anti-Islam and anti-Muslim sentiment in Nepal. Muslims make up 4% of Nepal's population. On the other hand, the Indian media incited hatred against Muslims under the guise of the Corona virus epidemic.
Last month, Prime Minister Oli's government released a map of Nepal that included areas India claims ownership of and disputed. Relations between the two countries have been strained since the move, with the Nepalese prime minister saying last week that India was working to overthrow his government.
