The Congress has concluded that a multi-stakeholder national dialogue is necessary to address the voices of change voiced through the Gen-Z protests. The Central Working Committee meeting held since October 28 on Saturday decided to hold a partial meeting and reach a consensus on issues including good governance and transparency through dialogue with all parties.

"The Nepali Congress has concluded that a common understanding is necessary to move the country towards peace, prosperity and stability, along with transformation in accordance with the spirit and values ​​of the Constitution," the decision said.

It called for a multi-party dialogue and building a common national understanding with the parties of the dissolved House of Representatives, parties that emerged after the protests, the Gen-Z generation, civil society, intellectuals, businessmen, media persons and stakeholders, and said, "The Nepali Congress decides to take the necessary initiative for this."

The Congress has also demanded that the attacks, looting and arson that took place during the Genji protests on Bhadra 24 be investigated truthfully and impartially, and that action be taken in accordance with the law, and that justice be provided to the victims along with appropriate compensation.

The government has been demanded to immediately return the weapons, uniforms and security equipment of the security personnel that were looted during the incident, to recapture the prisoners who escaped from various prisons, and to ensure peace and security in the society by promptly reconstructing all government structures including police offices that were destroyed by vandalism and arson.

The government has also demanded to provide appropriate compensation to the commercial and business establishments and other small businessmen who suffered financial and commercial losses due to attacks, vandalism, looting and arson during the incident of Bhadra 24, to create a safe environment for them to resume their business operations, and to boost the morale of domestic and foreign investors.

‘The main issues raised by the Gen-Z generation through the protests such as ‘end corruption, good governance, transparency and ensuring the right to information’ are natural, legitimate and the voice of the common citizen. The Nepali Congress has always taken the demands for good governance raised through the protests positively and expresses its commitment to fulfilling them,' the Congress said in the decision.

In the complex situation of unimaginable destruction and chaos in the country on Bhadra 24, the Congress has also respected the role of the President in the situation where the question of getting the country out of the crisis and protecting the constitution has become extremely sensitive.

'The President had to appoint an interim Prime Minister from outside the Parliament. However, according to the constitutional provisions, the Nepali Congress was clear that a solution could have been found from within the Parliament,' the Congress said. 'It was also said in the meeting of the Performance Committee on Asoj 3 that the initiative to dissolve the Parliament is contrary to the concept of the Constitution and the interpretation of the esteemed court. The dissolution of the Parliament is unconstitutional. This step has put democratic achievements at risk. The Congress firmly believes that a solution is possible within the Constitution.'

Now that the interim government has been formed and the House of Representatives has been dissolved and the election date has been announced, the Congress believes that the election will be the only solution. ‘With this, this issue is not only political but also constitutional and since this issue is under consideration in the esteemed Supreme Court, the Nepali Congress believes that the Supreme Court will give the final interpretation,’ the Congress has said.

The Nepali Congress has expressed serious concern over the current peace and security situation and the provocative and anarchic activities that have been increasing in recent days. ‘In such a sensitive situation, it is never desirable for any political party, group or faction to incite violence, disrupt harmony, incite or spread hatred in any name,’ it said. ‘Similarly, in a democratic system and the rule of law, it cannot be considered natural or acceptable to prohibit anyone on impulse or impulse, or to try to restrict peaceful demonstrations and expression of ideas. Such an act is against the basic values ​​of the Constitution, and it increases the possibility of further polarization and violence in the society.’

Restraint instead of provocation; Dialogue instead of prohibition; Trust and understanding instead of distrust; The Congress has urged all parties concerned not to adopt any path of violence or provocation, not to engage in politics of prohibition, and to exercise restraint and seek solutions through dialogue.
