Artist Deepak Raj Giri Credits Maoist Insurgency for Inclusive Representation in Parliament

Kathmandu. Artist Deepak Raj Giri has stated that the primary credit for the current political transformation in the country and the inclusive representation seen in parliament goes to the Maoist People's War. He expressed this view in a post on social media.

He writes: 'Today's transformation. The representation of so many women, Dalits, and oppressed classes in parliament. The credit for this indeed goes to the Maoist People's War.'

Stating that the present becomes weak if history is not respected, Giri further writes: 'If history is not respected, the present also becomes weak. Good morning.'

Recently, the presence of women, Dalits, Janajatis, and backward classes has become mandatory and significant in Nepal's parliamentary politics. Although various political movements played a role in this achievement, artist Giri specifically praised the decade-long People's War initiated by the Maoists for laying its foundation.

Many people have reacted to his view after it was made public on social media.
