Police have arrested more than 50 protesters from various places including Kathmandu on the charge of making the demonstration violent.
In protest against corruption and the government's decision to shut down social media, Zen-G group had scheduled a demonstration program in the Maitighar-Baneshwar area after obtaining permission from the District Administration Office Kathmandu. According to the permission given to Jen-G, the administration decided the event venue after obtaining approval from the District Security Committee. However, due to the lack of security arrangements in the area where the demonstration was allowed, the Gen-G demonstration was suppressed by the state. About 4,000 Nepal Police and more than 1,000 armed security personnel were deployed to manage the demonstration.
The administration had issued a curfew in Maitighar, Babarmahal, Baneshwar, Budhnagar areas from mid-afternoon after being unable to manage the demonstration. After the curfew was issued, the Nepali Army was deployed to protect important government/public structures including the residences and offices of the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Speaker. But before the curfew was issued, shots were fired at the protesters.
The government has not revealed the details of how much force was used against the protestors including 'live rounds', rubber bullets, tear gas and aerial fire. Police spokesperson DIG Ghimire said that a "tragic incident happened" during the demonstration. He did not want to talk about why the police used so much force. "Why did this incident happen, what was the fault of whom, it is open from the investigation, it cannot be said right now," he said.
After the demonstration of the Gen-G group went uncontrollable, a meeting was held with the security officials including Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar, Inspector General of Nepal Police Chandrakuver Khapung, Inspector General of Armed Police Raju Aryal, Head of National Investigation Department Hutraj Thapa. After Home Minister Akbar instructed the subordinate mechanism to use the necessary force to control the situation, Chief District Officer of Kathmandu Chabi Rizal ordered the security chief to 'shoot below the knee'. However, most of the dead were shot in the chest, head and stomach, so the security personnel did not follow the principle of use of force.
Armed Police Spokesperson DIG Kalidas Dhoubji said that all security management and coordination was done through the District Security Committee. The district security committee managed and coordinated the demonstration. If the resources and manpower are insufficient, it will be managed from the top, and other activities will be done by the district security committee, the question of who caused the deficiency will be found out later through investigation, he said.
Former DIG of Nepal Police, Hemant Malla termed the incident as a reprehensible and barbaric abuse by the state against the conscious youth who came forward to demand that good governance and law should be established. He believes that the Jen-G group protested by representing the voice of the people who were affected by the corruption and misrule of the state administration, but the government ignored it and caused this level of human loss.
'Jen-G group has been raising its voice against corruption and corruption by the state power not only in Nepal, but all over the world. In many countries, the youth group has become decisive in overthrowing the government,' says Malla, 'Recently, the anger of corruption and corruption and social media shutdown in Nepal has come to the attention of this group. He also believes that there is a problem in crowd control due to the lack of coordination between the Nepal Police and Armed Forces deployed in the
field. He says that after the last social media shutdown, the means of communication with relatives abroad was broken, the basis for earning income from the city of technology has also been disrupted and even though the network has helped thousands of students in their studies, the group felt that it has also been affected by the latest decision.
In addition to this, the prime minister and ministers' hasty expressions on the warnings from Jen-G and other groups, the tendency to further provoke the situation, and not wanting to listen to voices of dissatisfaction, has also helped to increase the anger, he says. After the incident went out of control, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli called a National Security Council meeting at the Prime Minister's residence, Baluwatar. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel, Home Minister Akbar, Defense Minister Manvir Rai, Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba, Chief Secretary Eknarayan Aryal and Chief of Army Staff Ashokraj Sigdel participated in the meeting called to review the incident.
Then the interior minister resigned. On Monday night, Prime Minister Oli again held a discussion with General Sigdel and Home Minister Akbar along with Inspector General of Police Khapung, Inspector General of Armed Police Aryal and officers including National Investigation Department Chief Thapa in Baluwatar. At that time, Prime Minister Oli said that the incident happened because the elements that broke the situation were actively involved. Who is responsible for
?
Political parties and civil society have said that the government should take responsibility for the incident that happened during Jen-G's demonstration on Monday. Opposition parties said that the government has lost its moral and legal rights after the incident.
'Zen-G' took permission from the district administration office Kathmandu for the demonstration on Sunday itself. Intelligence agencies had informed the Ministry of Home Affairs that up to 10,000 people could gather in Monday's demonstration and that there could be infiltration of other self-interested groups. However, the home administration did not seem serious about the possible incident. However, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Author did not go to analyze the performance of 'Gen-G', the form it may take or the impact it may have. On Sunday, Prime Minister Oli made a mockery of Gen-G's performance at the UML's second legislative convention.
Instead of paying attention to the demonstration of 'Zen-G' and its impact, the home minister was busy with the parliamentary committee on Monday afternoon, when the demonstration had reached its climax. The protesters surrounded the parliament building in Baneshwar and entered it. The police fired indiscriminately. 19 youths who protested against corruption and voiced freedom of expression lost their lives. Hundreds of young people have been injured.
Who is responsible for this incident? Along with the ruling, opposition political parties and civil leaders have raised questions about the government. Agni Sapkota, the vice president of the main opposition party Maoist, has said that the KP Sharma Oli-led government has completely lost its moral, legal and political right to rule. "This kind of brutal and brutal suppression of the movement for freedom of expression is very serious," he said. This is genocide. The government should take responsibility for this.
Another opposition party, the United Socialist Party, has demanded the resignation of the prime minister. "The murderous government that has taken the lives of so many people no longer has the moral right to remain in power," the decision of the Samajwadi Secretariat meeting said, "The government has lost its legitimacy." Therefore, our party demands the immediate resignation of the Prime Minister and Home Minister.'
The ruling Congress has also expressed its displeasure with the functioning of the government. The party officials meeting has decided that the government should withdraw the ban on social media. Besides, the Home Minister instructed the author to resign on moral grounds and he has also resigned. Party General Minister Bishwaprakash Sharma says that the government's weakness has been seen in allowing such damage to happen. The government did not analyze the situation. The crowd had to be controlled using minimum force. That didn't happen either. A very big mistake has been made by the government," he said. He said that the government did not have foresight even while taking the decision to close
social media. He mentioned that it cannot be said that it is wrong to say come to register social media. However, the impact of closure was not analyzed. The weakness of the government was that it could not closely monitor the dissatisfaction of the citizens. On the contrary, the government was under pressure when it was closed," he said. "A decision should have been taken after analyzing, evaluating and reviewing the situation immediately. The government did not have foresight.'
Former administrator Rameshwar Khanal says that the result of the government's decision without analyzing public opinion is visible on the streets. The youth used to express their dissatisfaction by writing and speaking on social media. They felt silenced by the shutdown of social media. When they could not speak, they took to the streets," said Khanal, "Youths do not only express themselves through social media. They also run their own enterprise business. Some parents are teaching their children by doing business through social media. That anger was also added. He mentioned that the government is responsible for such incidents.
Dissatisfaction with the government has been seen even within the ruling UML regarding the incident of killing such a large number of youths. Party Vice President Ishwar Pokharel says that the government should take responsibility for the incident. Why didn't the government communicate when Jane-ji raised the issue? There was a difference. There should have been necessary coordination and harmony between those who raised the case and the government," he said. "A large number of youths have died due to gunfire. This is very sad. The state machinery should be held accountable for this incident.'Ushakiran Timsina, a central member of UML, said that the government has no right to shoot the protestors in college dress. Writing on social media, she has asked for the resignation of the Prime Minister, saying that it will not be possible for the Home Minister to resign.
The opposition party RSVP has also demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Oli. The party secretariat meeting has demanded that the government should go for a fresh mandate saying that it has lost its legitimacy. The RPP has also demanded the dissolution of the government saying that the term of office of the current government is over.
, the Maoist Across the pre-human rights commission of Human Rights Commission has said that the government has not been restramed of the performance against corruption and corrupt leaders. The performance is aimed at which they should not exhaust and nbsp; Senior Advocate Shambhung Thapa said that the government should take immediate responsibility for themselves in the country's own.
