We Feel Responsible, DON’T YOU?
At a time when the country is going through a rough time and not many of us seem to care, ‘network De social worker’ in collaboration with ‘Mero Desh Merai Dayitwo’ made an attempt to focus in raising voices for constitution drafting. It is an effort to show the political leaders that some of us do care about the tasks they are neglecting.
The three days campaign took place on 7th, 9th and 14th September at Civil Hospital, Basantapur Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square respectively. They were all 15 minutes silence process; starting at 5:30pm and ending at 5:45pm, where the youths stood quietly in the place with placards displaying messages of public frustration and anger. It was a platform for people to step out of their private lives to create a public voice. The brightest side to this campaign was that, people who actually cared didnt hesitate to step forward and joined in the group. This was a healthy and civil protest to demand accountability from the senior lawmakers and politicians.
Sometimes, action speaks louder than words..but at times like these SILENCE speaks volumes.
