It has been exactly three years since the letter of the same fate did not arrive at Gobind Tamrakar's house. In the years before that, on the 'Martyr's Day' celebrated on January 16, letters would come with an address to honor the family.
'Even when that letter came, it gave the impression that the government remembered the martyr's family,' said Govind, the father of martyr Sagun Tamrakar, 'now the government has forgotten Sagun, his sacrifice and his contribution to bring democracy and republic to the country.' Until then, Sagun, who had a house, lived in Kalanki, Kathmandu. In 2063, 18-year-old Sagun, who participated in the public protest, was shot in the chest and died on the spot in Kathmandu. This news reached Govinda at once . At that time, Sagun's body was in the teaching hospital in Kathmandu.
There was a curfew across the country due to the people's movement. It was not easy for Govinda's family to reach the teaching hospital. Anyway, they reached Kathmandu. "There are 17 dead bodies lying around in an autopsy room of the hospital," Govinda said, "I looked at them one after the other with a heavy heart. When I opened the box with the number 4 on it, there was a body of Sagun with a bullet wound in the chest. How could I see the children I raised in that situation! I couldn't handle it.'
It was not so easy to bring Sagun's body to Panauti. After the body was brought to Banepa, a crowd of thousands gathered. A tribute rally was held. Everyone had playing cards in their hands. In which it was written, "May the martyr Sagun remain immortal, the government appreciates the contribution of Sagun, the state honors the martyr Sagun", the words of which still make his heart break. "Now I think those words are only for a few days," he says, "The sacrifices and sacrifices that Sagun gave to bring democracy to the country, now the government does not remember that". Govinda couple's relationship was not good so they were living separately . Sagun sometimes used to live in Panauti with his father and sometimes with his mother in Kathmandu. Sagun was staying with his mother in Kathmandu at the time of the incident. Sagun, who was involved in the movement with his friends in Kathmandu, sacrificed his life.
After Sagun's death, Govinda began to suffer from loneliness. Because of this, he suffered mental problems . After some time he got married again . Now she has a son as her second child. "The child I lost will not come back," he said, "Sagun is still alive in my heart, I have not forgotten him even for a moment."
Even after 18 years, that wound is still there. The family of martyrs is not remembered by the state, nor by any political party, nor by any other body. According to him, previously, the government used to invite the family to honor the family on Martyr's Day. He remembers coming to get a car to go to the program.
"It's been three/four years that no one remembers our martyr's family," he said, "What else do we need?" The government would have only appreciated and respected their contribution and sacrifice.' Four youths of Kavre lost their lives during the second agitation. Bhimsen Dahal of Nala was killed in Pokhara, Sagun Tamrakar of Panauti was killed in Kalanki, Shivhari Kunwar of Bhimkhori was killed in Banepa and Anil Kumar Lama of Nagre Gagarche was killed in Jorpati of Kathmandu.
