Nepali Congress joint general secretary Ajaybabu Shiwakoti and journalist Roshan Khadka have reached an agreement at the Cyber Bureau, settling the dispute between them over remarks made on social media. Under the agreement, the disputed posts will be removed and an apology will be issued on social media.
Khadka had complained to the bureau about comments Shiwakoti made on social media about reports concerning middleman Inam Sapkota and the Nepali Congress. The bureau called both men in on Sunday and held a joint discussion with them. A participant in the discussion said Shiwakoti agreed to delete the old status and apologise on social media.
During the discussion, both sides agreed not to post unverified material on social media in future. The bureau also said it could call them again if similar material appeared.

Shiwakoti had wanted to take a lawyer with him to the bureau, but police did not allow the lawyer inside, saying the discussion would be held with both sides together.
The bureau had first tried to contact Shiwakoti last week, when he was on a religious trip in India. He cut the trip short and returned to Kathmandu on Thursday. Both men were called to the bureau on Sunday, and the settlement was reached after their joint discussion.
