23 August, Kathmandu. Former Prime Minister Sushila Karki has said that the Jenji movement has given a clear message to the state and political leadership that "if there is no good governance, even a two-thirds majority of the parliament cannot provide stability."
On the occasion of the completion of one year of the Genji Movement, she said this while issuing a message through the social network Fakebook on Tuesday.
According to Karki, political stability is not determined by parliamentary mathematics, but by the character and style of the ruler. Therefore, he expects the government to work effectively to ensure good governance, corruption control, rule of law and respect for citizens.
Remembering the loss of people's wealth during the Genji movement and the pain caused by it, he suggested that all parties should be responsible and vigilant to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Paying tribute to the youth who lost their lives during the Genji movement on 23 August, Karki also wished for the speedy recovery of the injured.
She mentioned that when young people raised their voices on the streets and digital networks with demands for good governance, accountability, transparency and a bright future, innocent young people were killed in the name of suppressing those voices and many young people were injured so that they had to bear the pain of disability for the rest of their lives.
Karki stated that there was a huge loss of private and public property during the agitation, as well as the loss of many national assets and heritage, and mentioned that the wound in the life of the nation will hardly ever be healed.
She emphasized that everyone should be honest, responsible and careful from their respective places to prevent a situation where people have to come to the streets again for good governance and change.
Mentioning that the country is now going through another painful situation of the Bhotekoshi flood less than a year after the huge loss of human wealth caused by the Genji movement, Karki called for patience, responsibility and unity in this sad time of disaster.
She said, "Let's support each other, apply ointment to the pain and face the disaster in unity."
