MP Jhakri Criticizes Human Rights Commission's Recommendations on 'Genji Movement'

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) MP Ram Kumari Jhakri has objected to the Human Rights Commission making recommendations outside its jurisdiction while investigating the incidents of the 'Genji Movement' that took place on the 23rd and 24th of last Bhadra.

She raised such an objection while speaking at the National Assembly meeting on Friday.

MP Jhakri stated that a new debate needs to be held regarding the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Commission. She also demanded the formation of a separate commission to investigate the destruction that occurred during the Genji movement. She said that a high-level commission should be formed under the chairmanship of a sitting judge of the Supreme Court to bring those involved in the planned act of burning the country under the purview of legal action.

Speaking in the meeting, she said, 'A debate needs to be held about the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Commission. And the government should form an investigation commission regarding the incidents of the 23rd and 24th of Bhadra. Let that commission be formed under the chairmanship of a sitting judge of the Supreme Court. And who directed, decided, and went to the field to burn the country in a planned manner with prior preparation for the incidents of the 23rd and 24th of Bhadra? The judicial commission to be formed now should take action against these people who burned the country, these traitors. And Nepal's self-respect must be raised. We should not remain silent. Now the poor must also rise. Because this government is only talking about the middle class and foreign brokers.'

MP Jhakri accused the current government of only talking about the middle class and foreign brokers. She mentioned that the time has come for low-income and below-poverty-line communities to stand firmly against the government.
