JSP Expresses Grief Over Ride-Hailing Driver's Death

Kathmandu. The Janata Samajwadi Party, Nepal (JSP) has expressed deep sorrow over the death of ride-hailing driver Ganesh Nepali during treatment after attempting self-immolation.  

Party Chairman Upendra Yadav, issuing a statement, offered heartfelt tribute to the deceased Nepali and expressed condolences to the bereaved family.  

The statement mentioned that any citizen being forced to express their pain, despair, or sense of injustice through a horrific decision like self-immolation is a serious warning for the rule of law. The JSP believes that the death of an individual is not just the loss of a family member, but also a situation where society faces a loss of an active citizen and the state confronts serious questions about its responsibilities.  

Stating that this incident cannot be dismissed as merely a personal accident or a momentary impulse, a demand has been made for an impartial, transparent, and credible investigation into its real cause and background. The statement also mentioned that if any individual, organization, or state mechanism's negligence and irresponsibility are found to be involved, strict action should be taken according to the law.  

JSP has strongly demanded that the Government of Nepal immediately arrange for appropriate relief, dignified compensation, and necessary social and economic support for the family of the deceased Nepali. The party has pointed out the need for institutional arrangements to promptly listen to the grievances of the working class, laborers, youth, and all citizens, provide justice, and make psychosocial support effective, so that such tragic incidents are not repeated.  

Stating that no issue is greater than human life, JSP has clarified that the state's primary responsibility is to protect the life, dignity, and justice of its citizens. It has been emphasized that the situation where any citizen has to end their life to make their voice heard is unacceptable for a civilized society, and this incident should be a matter of serious self-reflection and responsibility for all.
