'Today's youth are not slaves', Nepal's celebrities warned the government; said- 'Ignoring Zen-G will be dangerous'

Nepal's prominent personalities have warned the government and political parties not to underestimate the problems of the youth. Ignoring the demands of Gen-G would prove to be dangerous. These personalities include writers, doctors, artists, former bureaucrats, and others.

They say that Monday's incidents are the result of the frustration accumulated among the youth due to corruption, bad governance, misuse of power, and the continuous arrogance of governments and political parties.

'Today's youth are not slaves'

Dr. Arun Sayami, former dean of the Medical Institute, told the Kathmandu Post, "Leaders think that if they have a majority in the Parliament, they can do anything. Today's youth are not their slaves. Stop behaving like Gyanendra Shah (who was removed from power in 2008) and immediately lift the ban on internet media." 'Ruling parties show their true face'

Public health expert Dr Aruna Upreti said, "Today's incident reminded me of the last days of King Gyanendra's rule when he used force without thinking."

She said, "The current government, the ruling Nepali Congress, and the CPN-UML showed arrogance and used tremendous force against the youth, the future of the country." Writer Khagendra Sangrola said that these incidents have shown the true face of the ruling parties.

He said, "Not only Pushpa Kamal Dahal (former Prime Minister), RSP, and Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah were instigating the youth, but Durga Prasad, Rastriya Prajatantra Party, and other monarchy supporters were also using the opportunity."

'Living in the country has become difficult'

Instructor pilot Vijay Lama said, "Today's youth are smarter, more educated, and updated than the youth of our time. They are the future of our country. The government should not use force against the youth."

Former secretary Kishore Thapa said, "It has become difficult to live in the country if one is not a member of any political party. The anger against the government is not limited to the youth. It is also among the elderly and professionals."
