The General Minister of the ruling Congress, Gagan Thapa, has said that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli should take responsibility for the incident that happened on Monday's protest in Jenji.
In the meeting of party officials held on Monday, Thapa said that Prime Minister Oli should take responsibility for the incident. He also said that the reason for the Congress and UML to remain in government has ended.
Thapa has made it clear that the government's use of force on Jen-G's demonstration cannot be considered justified in any way. "The Prime Minister should take all responsibility for today's incident." Today, the unwanted and violent activities that took place in the peaceful movement of the youth generation (Gen-G) are tragic and unnatural. The government's extreme repression in the name of controlling the movement is reprehensible and unforgivable,' said Thapa, 'This style of the government cannot be justified from any angle . Due to the insensitivity of the government, many young people lost their lives in Anahak today, and this heartbreaking incident has shocked us. The Home Minister has resigned taking moral responsibility for the use of force, repression and attacks in the movement. The Prime Minister should take responsibility for this overall situation. But this is not enough.'
Thapa has also said that the rationale of the current coalition government has ended. "There is no need for the government of this coalition to continue as the government formed by two major parties to guarantee good governance to the people could not do that. The Nepali Congress should reconsider this matter,' he said.
Thapa also says that the issues raised by the youth through the movement are of general concern. Stating that the issue of investigating and taking action against those involved in corruption is constantly being raised, he said, 'For this, from amending the constitution, necessary amendments to laws such as the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority should be done quickly. In terms of immediate corruption control, good governance, etc., to investigate the assets of people holding public office after 2046 and to investigate all corruption scandals, a high-level commission should be formed under the leadership of the former chief justice, who is trusted by the common people, and the investigation process should be carried forward.
Thapa said it was wrong to shut down social media, an important platform for citizens to enjoy their freedom of expression, participate in public debates and hold the government accountable. "Any restriction on the internet has narrowed the freedom of expression and the right to information. Therefore, since the guidelines regulating the use of social networks, 2080 are not in agreement with the constitution and the law, the guidelines should be repealed and the ban on social networks should be removed,' he said .
Thapa has also urged the peaceful protesting youth to proceed with moderation and exercise restraint as there are unwanted and violent activities in the peaceful movement.
