As the Chair of Legislative Parliament III, I speak before a committee full of promise where one is able to question unjust laws, challenge outdated systems, and pave the path to a democratic and bright future. Your words are the voice of the people and your voice is the voice of the people who cannot be heard within these walls.
This committee is critical as we are quite literally the backbone of governing and law-making. With compelling arguments, thoughtful amendments, and uncompromising stands, we can bring about change. Your speeches are not vacuous procedures but instead they are tools of change.
I want each of you to come in with not only facts and research, but with passion. Speak not only when you agree, but mainly when you disagree. Lift your placards with passion, intent, lift your voices with authority, and lift your ideas with pride. Treat your fellow delegates respectfully, but never be afraid to respectfully challenge them. That is where democracy takes breath.
Being a representative of Pushpa Kamal Dahal, I never intimidated anyone.I stood firm in opposition, brought my ideas forward with boldness, and confronted other representatives with assertiveness and purpose.
Let this committee be also remembered not for quiet, but for power. Not for cautiousness, but for initiative
Now sit down, look up, and speak for tomorrow.

As Vice Chair of Legislative Parliament- III, I feel privileged to uphold a position within a committee where young minds converge to challenge what's wrong, stand for what's right and consider the type of nation we need to construct. This is a space where it is not just talk but an opportunity to voice for the people who are not heard. Each one of you has the power to raise issues that are significant and question the systems that need changing. That is the uniqueness of this committee: it is a space to voice, to listen and to guide.
In this committee, we don't just discuss laws, we become policymakers and citizens. We think of the impact of laws, we are the voice of the people and we make choices that have a lasting impact on the society we live in. Be it social reform or amendments to the constitution, every word you say and every motion you pass doesn't just reflect your understanding of governance but also your commitment to fairness, equity and justice.
As Vice Chair, I will be with you during this session to guide, assist and ensure that this session is run with passion and professionalism. I urge all of you to engage not with the sole aim of winning but with the aim of learning, representing and respecting. Listen actively, challenge constructively and deliberate intelligently. You are not just delegates; you are lawmakers, nation-builders and visionaries in this room.
Let this MUN be not just a platform for debate but a milestone in your own journey of leadership and growth.
May your voices be heard, your ideas respected and your presence recalled.

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” -Frederick Douglass
As your Moderator for LP-III, it is both my duty and my privilege to guide you all along with this committee through the most exciting and powerful topics of today’s time.
In this room, we are more than just delegates, moderators, or speakers. We are the carriers of responsibility, and also the voice of the future. The voices we raise echo far beyond these walls; they represent the farmers who lost their land without explanation, the citizens whose savings vanished into corrupt cooperatives, and the future generations who will ask what we did when the system faltered.
Our agendas are not just some mere debate topics; but are the reflection of real pain, real loss, and real injustice that still exists in Nepal. We are here not just to speak, but to stand; stand for transparency, stand for accountability, and to stand for the Nepal we deserve.
I urge you not to treat this committee as formality, but as a battlefield of ideas. Argue with evidence, challenge with courage, and defend with dignity. Every speech of yours carries a weight; not just in volume, but in purpose. Respect each other, but do not try to run away from the fear of disapproval. Instead, state your points, share your thoughts, and create a satisfactory resolution. This is what the true motive of the committee is all about. This is where ideas are tested, thoughts are shared, and democracy is practiced.
As your Moderator, I will ensure fairness and will make sure to listen closely, question precisely, and formally execute this committee with excellence. But most of all, I will hold the space for you all to rise for the future of the country, rise for yourself, and rise for a great will.
