News Topical, Digital Desk : Prominent personalities of Nepal have warned the government and political parties not to underestimate the problems of the youth. Ignoring the demands of Gen-G would prove dangerous. These personalities include writers, doctors, artists, former bureaucrats and others.
They say Monday's events are a result of growing frustration among young people over corruption, bad governance, abuse of power and the continued arrogance of governments and political parties.
'Today's youth are not slaves'
Speaking to the Kathmandu Post, Dr Arun Sayami, former dean of the medical institute, said, “Leaders think they can do anything if they have a majority in parliament. Today's youth are not their slaves. Stop behaving like Gyanendra Shah (who was removed from power in 2008) and immediately lift the ban on internet media.”
'Ruling parties were shown their true face'
Public health expert Dr. Aruna Uprety said, 'Today's incident reminded me of the last days of King Gyanendra's rule, when he used force without thinking.'
He said, 'The current government, the ruling Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML showed arrogance and used extreme force against the youth, the future of the country.' Writer Khagendra Sangrola said that these incidents have shown the real face of the ruling parties.
He said, 'It was not only Pushpa Kamal Dahal (former prime minister), RSP and Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah who were instigating the youth; but Durga Prasad, Rastriya Prajatantra Party and other monarchy supporters were also using the opportunity.'
'It has become difficult to live in the country'
Instructor pilot Vijay Lama said, 'Today's youth are smarter, more educated and updated than the youth of our time. They are the future of our country. The government should not use force against the youth.'
Former secretary Kishore Thapa said, "It has become difficult to live in the country if one is not a member of any political party. The anger against the government is not limited to the youth. It is also among the elderly and professionals."
