I went because the country will be built. It would have happened if he had not gone to the movement. In the name of change, nothing happens except that ordinary people like us die and get injured.
What you should know
22-year-old Ayush Magar of Gangajamuna rural municipality 5 of Dhading is a driver by profession. He was shot in front of the Balaju police station on Tuesday during the Zen-ji movement. After 4 days of ICU treatment at the National Trauma Center, he was shifted to the surgical ward.
Aayush is shot in the stomach. He is sitting in the hospital bed looking at his mobile phone wearing a dress.
In the first days of the Zen-ji movement, he was busy with his own work . But on the second day, when the curfew was imposed and the car did not move, he wanted to participate in the movement. He thought that if corruption is different, if the country develops, why not join the movement? He was living in Machhapokhari when he met a group shouting slogans around 8 am.
That group reached in front of Balaju Chowki around 12 noon . After reaching there, a clash started between the police and the protestors. At that time Ayush was shot in the stomach. He says, "Suddenly, a bullet hit the stomach and we all had to bring him to the hospital." After reaching the hospital, he did not inform his mother who was staying in the room with him that it might be a normal rubber bullet, but the doctor told him to call a family member to perform the operation, so he called his father.
'Father has many diseases . Kidney failure, pressure, sugar . The mummy doesn't have one leg . is disabled . I didn't want to say that I was afraid that it would add another stress and I had to call later . Baba has come,' he said .
Aayush was earning alone and was taking care of household expenses and parents' medicine expenses . But he is in double pain after being injured in the movement.
He says, "With the money I have earned, the stove will be lit at home". This happened to me because of the movement. Baama is in my hope . I am counting the days when I will be safe and earn money by working.'
Even as he is the only earner in the house, he regrets joining the movement. It would have happened if he had not gone to the movement. In the name of change, there is nothing except common people like us dying and getting injured. "I regret that I went to Bekkar," he says. He is very worried if he has to lie down in the hospital bed because of festivals like Dasain.
