Common Gen-G Nepal Warns of Street Protests Against Government

Kathmandu. 'Common Gen-G Nepal' has warned of nationwide street protests if the activities of Prime Minister Balendra Shah (Balen) government do not change immediately, accusing them of becoming anti-people and autocratic. 

Issuing a press release on Saturday, Common Gen-G Nepal stated that it has taken serious note of the review of the government's 100-day tenure and recent events. 

Anger over Ganesh Nepali's 'Self-immolation' and Home Minister's Statement

Common Gen-G Nepal has expressed deep sorrow over the self-immolation incident by Mugu youth Ganesh Nepali due to inability to pay heavy fines for transportation and traffic police atrocities and confiscation of vehicles. 

Common Gen-G Nepal has deemed the Home Minister's statement in parliament, 'Local governments are under the dominance of political parties and the federal government has no fault in this,' as irresponsible. 

A joint statement signed by Common Gen-G Nepal Chairman Bikesh Shah, General Secretary Ronish Shah, and In-charge Krishnamohan Sahani demanded that Mugu's deceased youth Ganesh Nepali be given due respect, a plan for the maintenance of his family be announced, and strict action be taken against the culprits of the incident.

The organization has appealed to all Gen-G youth and all Nepali brothers and sisters to be ready for street protests against the government if it does not mend its ways and run a citizen-friendly governance, calling on the government to correct its activities in time. 

It has been claimed in the statement that the seeds of police atrocities and hooliganism in the metropolis were sown during the tenure of Kathmandu Metropolitan City's former chief (current Prime Minister) Balen Shah, and its sprouted form is now manifesting.

Government's 100 Days: Peak of Terror and Misgovernance 

The statement mentioned that the government led by Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has not been able to do any concrete work for the benefit of the people even after completing 100 days. On the contrary, Common Gen-G Nepal has accused the government of carrying out bulldozer terror on squatters, making them homeless, misusing state machinery to dismiss innocent officials of public bodies, and forcing government employees to do unwilling tasks by threatening them.

Similarly, the statement mentioned that no concrete programs for youth employment and income generation have been brought in the budget and policy programs, and by imposing heavy fines of up to Rs 1 lakh for vehicle drivers, an attempt is being made to restrict the freedom of movement of citizens.

Accusation of Parliament's Disrespect by Prime Minister

Common Gen-G Nepal has accused Prime Minister Balen himself of making controversial statements contrary to national integrity and borders, such as 'Nepal has encroached upon India's land,' and of disrespecting parliament by not responding to this in parliament. The organization has also objected to the game of rendering ineffective the constitutional right to submit property details and investigate the assets of incumbent and retired officials.
