Kathmandu 14 May, 2011: In the outcry of demanding the new constitution, the youths of Nepal took it to streets and warned the Constitution Assembly Member that they are watching and if they don’t improve their understanding and further be irresponsible towards their duties things would go wrong. The crowd which had turn up in several hundreds specially and jointly voiced the need of constitution in Nepal. The program was launched by a free youth group formed in Facebook where the event “Come on Youth Stand Up” tolled to more than 10,000 attend list.
The crowd also warned the Constitution Assembly Members that if things don’t change further intense programs will be launched to protest against them. Nepal was declared a Federal Democratic Republic in 2008 after out casting the long lasting Monarchy system. From then, a unicameral body of 601 members was formed as a result of the Constituent Assembly election which was held on April 10, 2008. The Constituent Assembly was tasked with writing a new constitution, and to act as the interim legislature for a term of two years which has already expired and the Constitution Assembly has further extended their declaration dates accordingly.
According to the organizers, “Come on youth stand up is an open youth awareness campaign initiated by the sovereign youths which aims to unite Nepali youth all over the world and to raise voice against every social, political and economical unfavorable activities that are happening in Nepal. It has been a bitter reality that our nation is currently forced to witness the extreme scarce of true leadership. The perfidious way the Constitution Assembly Members have been acting carelessly shows their dedication towards the people and country. We want the country to have a new constitution as from the past the country has invested a lot of resources and investment but to reality nothing has come out in public. Moreover, the progress and the problems of the constitution are completely shadowed which concerns every Nepali. We just want to aware the 601 Constitution Assembly Members that the youths of Nepal are aware of the situation and we can think and can interpret the happenings. We want the constitution and that’s our need. If you the Constitutional Assemble Members can t do their jobs well then please give us the way and we will make the constitution ourselves.”
With the political instability and Constitution Assembly Members being involved in corruption and other irregularities, people have started to questions the credibility and existence of the constitution and the constitutional assembly members. People are aggravated and excited to know the progress but everything is hidden and one after the other people’s will and patience is breaking. With such the numbers of protest program are also increasing demanding the rights to have the constitution. Let’s see and hope for the best of Nepal for what seem to be a deadlock in the history of Nepal and the coming days.
