Misleading Headline In Khasokhas

English: Young Nelson Mandela. This photo date...
English: Young Nelson Mandela. This photo dates from 1937. South Africa protect the copyright of photographs for 50 years from their first publication. See . Since this image would have been PD in South Africa in 1996, when the URAA took effect, this image is PD in the U.S. Image source: http://www.anc.org.za/people/mandela/index.html (Photo credit: Wikipedia)


This headline would have you believe CK Raut was a commando in the US army who is now putting together a battalion of fighters to take over Nepal. It is true that he was working for a company in America that is in the defense sector. But he was working as a computer programmer. And his methods have been all nonviolent. His heroes are Mandela and Gandhi. He is guilty of using his right to free speech and right to peaceful assembly.

This news article is all masala and spin and is misleading.
