Martyr's Father Demands Defeat of Leaders Accused in 'Jengji' Movement Violence in Upcoming Election

Biratnagar. Ganesh Chaulagai, the father of Shriyam Chaulagai, a martyr of the Jengji movement on Bhadra 23, stated that both those who incited the massacre and those who carried out the massacre must be defeated in the upcoming election.

Meeting with Ranjit Tamang, the candidate from the Communist Party of Nepal for Jhapa-5, on Tuesday, martyr father Chaulagai expressed anger towards both KP Oli and Balendra Shah, who are contesting in Jhapa-5. Arriving in Gauradaha-7, martyr father Chaulagai said, 'Both Balen, who incited the massacre, and Oli, who carried out the massacre, must be defeated.' He accused Balen and Ravi (Rabi Lamichhane) of abandoning the agenda of Jengji.

Chaulagai stated, 'Because he carries the agenda of Jengji, my presence, support, and backing in Jhapa-5 will be for Ranjit Tamang.' Chaulagai added that the Jengji rebellion was not just to postpone the 2084 election to 2082, adding, 'A single election was not the demand of Jengji.'

In response, Tamang committed to fulfilling the incomplete dreams of Jengji with mind, word, and deed. Stating that he will continuously work to fulfill the real issues of Jengji, he mentioned that the expectations of the Jengji martyr's father have increased his responsibility.

Shriyam, an 18-year-old from Belbari-11, Morang, was living in Pepsicola, Kathmandu, with his family. He was studying Grade 12 (Management) at Global College of Management. He was the only son in his family.
