मिडिया ट्रायलको सिकार गृहमन्त्रीले मिडिया बाटै दरबार हत्याकाण्डको फाइल खोल्दै।

Overview

The speaker argues that Nepal’s investigation into the “palace massacre” (Durbar massacre) and the associated media narrative have been distorted through coordinated propaganda. The speaker particularly points to the role of Indian-aligned media and personnel with alleged ties to security or foreign intelligence interests.

Core Claims and Reasoning

1) Challenging the “file opening” as too late and potentially biased

The speaker disputes the government’s claim that opening the palace massacre file will resolve the case. They argue it will not address the “real conspiracy,” claiming that Nepalese media has allegedly been used from the beginning to obscure it.

2) Portraying Nepalese journalism as systematically compromised

The speaker claims—using sweeping language—that a large portion of journalists are essentially “spies” or are acting as tools. They further name specific outlets and editors as examples.

3) Emphasizing Indian media influence as central to the narrative

The speaker repeatedly argues that outlets such as India Today (described as BJP-linked) helped shape or justify narratives around the palace massacre and related cases by:

• publishing interviews and stories the speaker says contradict official realities,
• demonizing certain figures—especially King Gyanendra—while allegedly protecting broader perpetrators or security structures.

4) Highlighting “reference” and misinformation

The speaker emphasizes how claims were used to redirect public suspicion:

• They cite an allegation that an India Today interview with underworld figure Chhota Rajan claimed responsibility for the Mirza Dilsad Beg killing, and argue this helped steer suspicion toward targeted individuals.
• The speaker contrasts this with later claims that a wrong person was portrayed as the killer, concluding that the overall media story is “fake.”

5) Prescribing investigation that starts with media and communication channels

A major prescription in the speech is that investigation should begin with the media figures and editors who framed coverage, before focusing on suspects in Nepal’s royal/security structures.

The speaker specifically highlights Yubaraj Ghimire and Ramchandra Poudel (and also mentions Baburam Bhattarai, described as having circulated an article) as early targets.

Alleged Media-to-Security “Cover-Up” Pathway

The speaker argues that a media campaign helped protect security agencies and security personnel by reframing the palace massacre as a “family” or royal drama rather than a security/operational conspiracy.

They also claim that “cascading” propaganda occurred across multiple formats—such as:

• articles,
• interviews,
• books,
• pseudonymous works (including fiction-like outputs),

which the speaker says were intended to character-assassinate people and derail investigation.

Additional Allegations on Networks and Authorship

Expanding beyond journalism, the speaker alleges that certain writers and publishers produced works (likened to crime/fiction “Mahabharata,” “Mahanisha,” etc.) functioning as propaganda tools.

They further argue the investigation should cover not only politicians and security actors, but also:

• media owners
• journalists
• authors
• publishers
• sources of wealth connected to legal/journalistic sectors

Overall Conclusion

The speaker’s overall conclusion is that Nepal’s palace massacre narrative has been driven by organized propaganda, particularly through Indian-aligned media channels, and by compromised or interconnected media personnel.

Therefore, they argue the investigation must broaden substantially—beginning with the media system and its key actors, and then moving toward security agencies.
