The Nepal Student Union (NSU), the student wing affiliated with the Nepali Congress, has demanded that the party publicly release the updated property details of its leaders—from unit presidents to the central president—on an annual basis.
An emergency meeting of the NSU Central Committee, held on October 11 at Nepal Law Campus, Exhibition Road, made the decision. The resolutions were made public during a press conference today.
According to the decision,
“To make the party free from corruption and irregularities and to promote good governance and transparency, the NSU formally demands that the party adopt a policy requiring all leaders—from unit presidents, regional presidents, district presidents, central members, and office bearers up to the central president—to disclose their updated property details annually.”
Other Key Decisions
- The NSU will institutionalize the voices raised by the Gen Z movement against corruption and irregularities.
- It will continue its watchdog campaign to strengthen the principles of transparency, accountability, and good governance within administrative, judicial, and political bodies.
- The NSU has also demanded that the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) be made more capable, impartial, transparent, and completely free from political influence—transforming it into a powerful, autonomous, and self-regulating body.
- The organization also called for amendments to existing laws to make anti-corruption measures more effective.
On the Gen Z Movement and Violence
The NSU concluded that there was infiltration and incitement to violence during the Gen Z protests of September 8–9 (Bhadra 23–24). It demanded an impartial investigation and strict punishment for all involved, including Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah.
The resolution stated that an immediate and fair investigation should be conducted into those involved in the arson, vandalism, and looting of public and private properties such as Singha Durbar, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, and business buildings, and that legal action should be taken as per Nepal’s laws.
On Government Crackdown
The NSU also demanded that the National Human Rights Commission conduct a fair investigation into the violent suppression by the government during the Gen Z protests. It urged that the then Prime Minister, Home Minister, and senior administrative officials responsible for the crackdown be held accountable and subjected to the strictest punishment if found guilty.
