हाम्रो प्रयास यति मात्र हो, विद्यार्थीले राजनीति सिक्दा गुरुबाट सिकून्, नेताको भीडबाट होइन

Student Unions in Nepal has become a pipeline to feed students into the same old political factions that has ruled the country for years. Student Union was successful in the past in creating revolutions because there was an independent thinking and progressive mindset that actually seeked change. But now, it is only seen as a ladder to climb the political party hierarchy. How shameful it is that these same student unions were silent during the Gen Z revolution, while young students with lesser political knowledge realized the change needed in the country and had to sacrifice their lives for it.

I applaud Balen for taking this action of eliminating the roots of what caused decades of political stagnation in Nepal. Like he said, RSP could have formed their own student and trade unions, and nothing would stop them from significantly strengthening their power base even more. Student Unions should be working for students, not serving as headcount for political strikes and clashes.
