What you should know
Prakash Bohora, who was seriously injured after being shot during the Gen-G movement, has been discharged from the National Trauma Center after 5 months.
On Bhadra 23, during a protest in front of the Parliament building in Naya Baneshwor, he was shot in the left leg. The bullet caused a deep injury to his nerve and he had to be kept in the ICU for a long time.
Prakash is the face of the Gen-G movement, whose blood-stained shoes became the ‘iconic symbol’ of the movement. Prakash recalls the initial three and a half months in the hospital as ‘a stay in hell’ for him.
Prakash’s mother Nanda Bohora arrived in Kathmandu on Asoj 3 for treatment. She, who has been taking care of her son until now, says that she is happy with the news of his discharge, but she is not worried.
‘I feel happy to be able to go home,’ she said, ‘but I am also afraid of what will happen in the future, no matter how strong the nerves in my legs are.’ According to the doctor, it will take time for the nerves to fully function. After some time, it is said that follow-up and further treatment will be required.
Prakash Bohora is currently number four on the list of candidates for the upcoming House of Representatives elections from the National Independent Party (RIP). He said that he will now be active in his political journey.
‘I will now take the voice of change that I started from the streets to the House,’ he said, ‘I will raise the issues of Gen-G demands, good governance, a corruption-free society and economic transformation in Parliament.’
