Rewritten constitution to Youth leader: Nepal Gen Z protesters lay out demands
The organisers of the movement have declared that all those who have lost their lives will be honoured as martyrs, with their families receiving state honours, recognition and relief.
PTC News Desk: Nepal's Gen Z protestors, who coerced the Prime Minister's ouster and brought government to its knees, have outlined a series of political and social demands calling for sweeping reforms in governance and investigation into assets looted by politicians over the past three decades.
The organisers of the movement have declared that all those who have lost their lives will be honoured as martyrs, with their families receiving state honours, recognition and relief. Organisers have also pledged special programs to combat unemployment, address social injustice and curb migration.
"This movement is not for any party or individual but for the entire generation and the nation's future. Peace is essential, but it is possible only on the foundation of a new political system," a statement by the protesters read.
The protestors leading at the forefront have also expressed that the President and the Army would implement their proposals.
Key demands:
- Immediate dissolution of the existing House of Representatives, which demonstrators argue no longer holds public trust.
- Revision or complete redrafting of the Constitution, carried out with meaningful involvement from citizens, experts, and young people.
- Fresh elections after a transitional phase, to be conducted independently, fairly, and with genuine public participation.
- Creation of a directly elected executive leadership to enhance accountability.
- Thorough investigation of wealth accumulated over the past 30 years, with illegally acquired assets to be seized and returned to the state.
- Comprehensive reforms in five key sectors — education, healthcare, judiciary, security, and communications — through structural changes and institutional restructuring.
