Role Of Youth
PRIME Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba called upon
the youth to play an active and effective role in protecting the sconstitution and
constitutional monarchy and strengthening multi-party democracy in the country. Addressing
the inaugural ceremony of second national convention of Tarun Dal, youth organ of Nepali
Congress, in Hetauda the other day, Prime Minister Deuba said that the country is
currently facing several social, economic and political challenges and the youth needed to
play an important role in overcoming these challenges and the lead the nation towards
peace, prosperity and development. Prime Minister Deuba is quite right in saying that all
people and political forces that believe in multi-party democracy, the present
constitution and constitutional monarchy must work together to safeguard the achievements
of the 1990 popular movement as some elements are trying to sabotage and weaken democracy
and constitutional monarchy. There is no alternative to democracy and constitutional
monarchy in the country. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal also has made these
provisions unchangeable. As said by Prime Minister Deuba, multi-party political system and
constitutional monarchy cannot be changed at the whim of a handful of people. The
Constitution represents the desire and will of people. People are in favour of democracy,
constitutional monarchy, rule of law and people’s fundamental human rights, which the
constitution has fully guaranteed. The present government, which is duly elected by the
people, has taken the oath to protect them. Thus, the Prime Minister has made it clear
that these constitutional provisions cannot be scrapped just because some elements resort
to violence. The government is firm to strengthen democracy and institutionalize
people’s rights. As said by Prime Minister Deuba, youths are the most important and
powerful force in the country on whose shoulders lie the responsibility of safeguarding
democracy and accelerating the pace of economic and social development and creating a just
society. Tarun Dal’s role has always been very positive and laudable for the cause of
the nation, democracy and people. Nepal’s youths are always in the forefront in the
struggle for democracy and human rights. Now Nepalese youth in general and Tarun Dal in
particular once more needs to show its strength and commitment to safeguarding
people’s rights and achievement of the Popular Movement.
