Zen-G's demonstration in Maitighar-Baneshwar area of ​​Kathmandu on Monday turned violent. When the protesting youth tried to enter the parliament building, the police used force.

The young generation has started street demonstrations against the ban on social media in favor of corruption and misrule. Sudeep Kaini's conversation with civic leader and former Vice-Chancellor of Tribhuvan University Kedarbhakta Mathema about their movement:

Why did Zen-ji come to the street demonstration?

Due to general frustration, youths have taken to the streets. Desperation is everywhere. The number of young people who do not get the opportunity to do anything in the country and get angry when they try to go abroad is increasing . The government could not take it seriously. The reason they were disappointed could not be found . The reason for the escape was not found. On the contrary, day by day there is corruption and impunity for the corrupt. None of the government, authorities, courts could show strictness against corruption .

There are only questions about the government, authorities, and courts. Government offices are just a nuisance. Not only the young generation . Even those of us who have reached an old age are in a state of boredom. The youth is looking for education and work (employment). Both of these things are not satisfactory in the country. The youth should be busy by studying and working. The state agencies could not take it seriously. If we get angry, it is natural for young people to get angry.

What should the government have done?

The government is enjoying its own rhythm . Has not improved his work . The attitude of those in the government is also not right . Look at the incident where the minister's car hit the girl. There should be continuous discussion with the young generation, but that has not been done . When taking a decision, their representatives should also participate in the decision-making process. The government should consult with the people in the affected areas when making a decision.

But they were not heard when they decided to close the social network that affects so many students, common people . The fact that the social network has not been listed could have been decided gradually by counseling the young generation and the common people for one and a half years. But it didn't happen. Jane Ji became angry when she closed the door. Now common people are upset. The communication link is broken . Most of them have parents or children abroad. Their communication link was the social network. That was broken by the government's decision. The government could not take such affected people along. Now is not the time to neglect the children of the new generation. We should listen to their problems and go the way of solving them. The government has not been able to take initiative in that direction . 

Now what should Jen-ji's role be?
