Kathmandu, Dec 13: The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) has drawn attention towards the incident of mistreatment of journalists by police and election committee members during the 14th Nepali Congress General Convention.
During the Convention, journalists going to cover the news of the voting, which started three hours late today, were harassed by police and the election committee members, who also stopped them from collecting news.
