The government must now face the wrath of the student bodies because it tried to suppress the student convention. The president of the All Nepal National Free Students' Union (Revolutionary) has warned that the government has to take responsibility for all actions that will follow.
Students' revolts have always led to the fall of governments. The students' revolt of 1980 resulted in the referendum being held. Students played a major role in the 1990 revolution and people should not forget this. The government seems to be scared of the agitation started by the ANNFSU which is gaining a lot of popularity. The announcement of an agitation soon after the incident at Ratna Rajya Campus has raised the political fever of the nation. The meeting of the ANNFSU yesterday has confirmed that an agitation will start soon and that it will shake the very foundation of this nation.
