Senior advocate Radheshyam Adhikari, who is also a former member of the National Assembly, has said that the constitution needs to be amended to implement the agreement between the government and Gen-G and that the current government does not have the mandate to do so.

Speaking to the Kathmandu Post, he questioned whether the government, which came with a mandate to hold elections, could fulfill the mandate of the agreement. He also analyzed the complications in implementing some of the points in the agreement. He said that both the electoral system and the voting of Nepalis living abroad could not happen immediately. He said, “I don’t think that the election on Falgun 21 will happen no matter how hard we try.” He expressed doubts about the implementation of the Gen-G-Government agreement and said, “If the agreement that both parties have made is not implemented, what is the point of the agreement?” He said that the constitution itself needs to be amended to implement the agreement and that this government does not have the mandate for that, and he commented that some of the points in the agreement are reserved for public approval. He said, “The agreement says that a powerful commission will be formed. It means that people can talk in a popular way. But the current constitution does not allow this. But even if we form a commission to put a blind eye, it is against the constitution and it is unconstitutional.' He recalled that former King Gyanendra formed a commission during the royal period and said that even then the Supreme Court had annulled such a commission. It is not the job of Gen-G to grant immunity. It increases impunity. -Radheshyam Adhikari

Adhikari said that Gen-G groups should run election-targeted campaigns and can campaign on the names put forward by the parties in the direct and proportional lists from the elections. He said, 'Only good people and people with vision can campaign to win the election.' He said that Gen-G should intervene to remove legal obstacles related to investment, which are considered obstacles to Nepal's economic development, and work to create an investment environment and increase employment, and what laws have prevented it and what legal obstacles should be removed. He said that in the situation where the parliament has been dissolved as per the demands of the Gen-G movement, a new parliament should be brought in and continuous pressure should be exerted to pass laws and regulations. The official said that criminal charges were also filed during the Gen-G protests and that Gen-G should not encourage impunity in such incidents. He said, “Giving impunity is not the job of Gen-G. It increases impunity. We have arrived here because of a lot of impunity. And if we introduce it again, Gen-G will not be successful. The lesson we can learn from the Gen-G movement is that this kind of impunity should not happen in the future.” He said that the Gen-G movement should understand its limits and leave the rest to the government and state machinery, saying, “If this can be done, Gen-G’s affairs will move forward. Otherwise, Gen-Gs will get trapped.”
