In the course of the monitoring, Home Minister Lekhak said the attack on the media house was condemnable and those involved in such inhumane activities would be brought to book. Condemning the attempt to destroy the media, he committed to taking action against the perpetrators.     

He mentioned, “In a democratic republic, there will be mutual competition. There are the government side and the opposition side as per the people’s mandate. But it should be countered by being united when anyone orchestrates anarchic activities against the system.” (RSS)
