Former Chief Justice Kalyan Shrestha has said that the discontent of Gen Z is also linked to the discontent of the older generation.
At a program organized by the Nepal Law Society in Kathmandu on Tuesday, Shrestha said that the elections should be held by addressing the demands of Gen-G and moving forward.
Shrestha said that the elections should not be held like regular elections. He said that the elections should be held only by addressing the demands of the protests held on Bhadra 23 and 24. 'I say that the dissatisfaction of the new generation is not only that of the new generation, but also the dissatisfaction of the old generation,' Shrestha said.
Shrestha said that the elections were being held on Falgun 21, just like they were done in the past. 'We have all the questions of law, information, ensuring participation, and security to hold the elections. Are we looking for elections like yesterday? Mirajji (Miraj Dhungana) was saying that the country is burning, the elections are being held the same way. Is this a coordination? It would have been better if we had waited until 2084 to hold similar elections or if we had been confident in the past elections,' Shrestha said.
Shrestha said that the demands made by the new generation should be resolved in the upcoming elections. 'If there are obstacles while going to the elections, they should be identified and in some cases their relationship may clash with the constitution. If it clashes with the constitution, then the constitutional issues should be resolved,' Shrestha added, 'We have to decide whether the election of the direct executive is a demand or not. If we go to the elections only after the election of the executive, there is no provision for it in the constitution. If we are ready for the election of the directly elected executive, we should put it in the constitution. If not, we should say no and let's go under the constitution. What is the matter? Who will decide? Who will listen and who will say? Who are the speakers and the listeners? We have to distinguish.'
