Kathmandu June 25, 2011: A cycle rally was organized by the Common Youth Stand Up (CYSU) Facebook group in midst of the current political chaos in Nepal. The Facebook activism that has been very active and aspiring people specially youth has given a platform for all to express their views and opinions. From organizing, awareness campaign of stopping the Constitution members and ministers from travelling abroad to the silent protest rally at BICC, CYSU has been very prominent in its program about initiating awareness of responsible Nepal. With the main theme of “my country my responsibility” CYSU has been getting people attention. The Facebook activism that was started few months back has taken a big form of a social movement where everyday people are seen protesting in one or the other form.
According to CYSU, “This cycle rally is dedicated for the people to make people believe and motivate them to speak their mind. We will be spreading the message of peace, unity and constitution within the periphery of Ring-road. We all stand as the symbol of energy with the theme of RESPONSIBLE NEPAL where your participation and support certainly plays a crucial role.”
With the political deadlock and no constitution situation, Nepal is moving toward a situation of crisis. After the revolution of 2008 that out-casted the autocratic monarchy regime, the CA was formed to establish a new constitution and to work towards building a better constitution and prospect but from then lack of political trust and time after time the prolongation of date of declaration certainly made the public think for no option except to get down in streets. Apart from that the CA members getting involved in criminal and irregular activities certainly honed the topic.
