What you should know
The then Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has said that the incidents of Bhadra 24 should be viewed separately from the demands of the youth.
Giving a statement to the Commission of Inquiry on the incidents of Bhadra 23 and 24, the writer said that anyone involved in criminal acts should be taken to task. 'The commission also needs to investigate the issue of who infiltrated the demonstration and how in a very detailed manner. I believe that the commission will look into this issue seriously for both the present and the future,' he said.
He said that the minister's responsibility is basically to lead and give directions to the policy and law-making related to his ministry.
He said that there is no basis for saying that the human and material destruction that occurred on Bhadra 23 and 24 was only the product of anger and passion arising from the incident at that time. 'The truth and facts of this will be revealed in the future. The attacks, vandalism and arson that were planned with prior preparation cannot happen in the momentary anger and passion. It is not possible for any governance system to move forward in the future by destroying the invaluable and important records of the state and reducing national structures to rubble. "That is why I cannot accept that those attacks were not well-planned and planned," he said.
Although the demands made by Genji on Bhadra 23 were correct, he said that it would be unfair to those pure-hearted youth to say that the tragic incidents that occurred due to infiltration and the attacks on the historical and invaluable structures of the state were the result of the impulse of the time.
