The achievements of the Gen-G movement have been documented on the 93rd day since the resignation of then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and the 90th day since Sushila Karki was appointed as Prime Minister. The Gen-G uprising of three months ago was recognized as a 'people's movement' in the agreement reached at Singha Durbar on Wednesday.

It has also fulfilled the demand for official documents related to the Gen-G movement. Mainly, the Gen-G movement has obtained a respectable record.

Since the protesters themselves agreed with the government led by the Prime Minister appointed on the recommendation of the protesters themselves, it can be expected that this agreement will not be left behind. For the implementation of the agreement, all parties must be honest and committed, and they must facilitate each other.

The Gen-G had called for a movement on 23 Bhadra in favor of good governance and against the ban on social media. But the government severely suppressed the movement, and 22 people died that day due to the use of force by the state.

The demonstration that took place the next day also involved arson, vandalism, and looting. After the country was without a government for three days, former Chief Justice Sushila Karki became the Prime Minister on 27 Bhadra. On her recommendation, the then House of Representatives was dissolved and the election date was set for 21 Falgun. But on Wednesday, the movement was documented to be recognized. 

The 2007 revolution overthrew the 104-year-old Rana regime. The royal proclamation made by King Tribhuvan on 7 Falgun 2007 can be considered a manifesto for democratic governance in the then circumstances. The 2046 People's Movement overthrew the three-decade-long Panchayat and ensured a multi-party competitive regime.

The 2062/63 People's Movement to overthrow Gyanendra's authoritarian regime was also put to rest by the royal address of 11 Baisakh 2063, where it was mentioned that the House of Representatives had been restored. In addition, written agreements were signed to put a stop to the armed rebellion of the Maoists, the Madhesh rebellion, and the movements of various regions, communities and castes. The written document linking the Gen-G movement has been prepared even after three months. 

The preamble of the agreement itself gives special importance to the past struggles and their achievements. In which the relevance and legitimacy of the constitution, from the federal democratic republic, secularism, and inclusive state system, have been assimilated.

Similarly, a firm resolve to end class, caste, gender and sexual inequality, poverty, marginalization and exclusion has been presented. Through this, Gen-G has presented a mature image of building on the achievements of past political and social struggles and striving for positive change. 

The broad political understanding shown by the new generation is commendable. The agreement mentions compensation for the families of martyrs and injured, impartial investigation of protest incidents, control of political and policy-level corruption, partisanization of public institutions and ending the practice of appointments based on party participation.

The agreement also mentions the issue of ensuring free, fair, peaceful and fearless elections. For that, it mentions the development and implementation of legal, technical and institutional infrastructure. However, there are also issues such as including the 'NOTA' option on the ballot paper, holding primary elections for candidate selection, determining the number of parties/candidates on the ballot paper through the lottery system, controlling pre-election alliances, and adhering to the principle of proportional inclusion when directly selecting candidates. This requires legal debate and addressing.

It is mentioned that a high-level 'Constitutional Amendment Suggestion Commission' will be formed with the participation of stakeholders including independent experts, Gen-G and youth to submit a report with suggestions. The commission has also been given some instructions/mandates through the agreement.

It has been said that the commission should recommend necessary reforms in the electoral system to ensure full proportional and inclusive representation based on population, limiting the term of the head of state, the chief executive of all three levels of government and members of the Council of Ministers to two full terms, not exceeding 10 years, and setting the minimum age for candidates for the House of Representatives, Provincial Assemblies and local level people's representatives to 21 years.

However, it is not yet certain how, when and how the commission will be formed, how the commission will cover the mentioned issues and how the constitutional amendment body will respond.

The 10-point agreement has now come under the responsibility of the state. The state is an institution with an unbroken succession. Although some of the issues of the agreement can be implemented by this government, it seems that some issues will also be the role of the next government and parliament. If the agreement is made only a narrow document between the current government and Gen-G, the possibility of other parties and organizations adopting it in the coming days will be weak and implementation may not occur.

Therefore, we should continue to create a positive environment for the agreement by promoting dialogue with all political parties. On the other hand, there are still differences of opinion among Gen-G. That has been expressed since Wednesday. When there was no consensus among Gen-G itself, the agreement would not have been acceptable to all. However, it is necessary to protect the achievements made in democracy and strive for further achievements, to make more citizens agree on our side, and to win trust.
