One More Victim of Democratic Movement: Mukesh Kayastha

Mukesh Kayastha, a brave Nepali Boy who sustained critical bullet injuries during the democratic movement in 2006, and is bedridden with paralysis.
Kayastha had sustained bullet injury after security personnel opened fire on April 9, 2006, during the people’s movement.

'Mukesh's Movement'. After the smoke and sloganeering ebbed it was the resonance of people power. People like Mukesh Kayastha, 15, who joined a rally in Banepa and wast shot in the head. He hasn't yet regained consciousness. At Bir Hospital ICU he breathes quietly in a coma. Mukesh now struggles not for loktantra but for his life. It's his own andolan now.

Individuals like Mukesh yearned for change, for a life worth living. And perhaps, when we whisper the name often enough, our voices filled with hope and conviction, Mukesh will wake up in a country he felt was worth fighting for.

Kayastha's mother Mira, who has been taking care of him since the past 42 months, said she is overwhelmed by the Prime Minister's assurance.

Mukesh was treated in the Bir Hospital for 11 months at Neuro ward under the supervision of Dr Upendra Devkota for five months. Dr YK Pandey had administered a special therapy to him.

During the Prime Minister's visit, Kayastha family urged him to assist them in writing to support them in his treatment, declare him a living martyr, and provide assistance for the construction of Mukesh Kayastha Academy.

I am sure this time Government will do best for the brave person like Mukesh ... not just theoretically but practically.

You are great... Mukesh.. Get Well Soon !!!!
