Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal, Chief Advisor to the Prime Minister Ajaya Bhadra Khanal, Public Relations Advisor Govinda Narayan Timilsina, and Chief Secretary Sumanraj Aryal were also present in the meeting.
According to the Prime Minister’s private secretariat, lawyers Binod Mani Bhattarai and Lava Neupane had facilitated the meeting.

She acknowledged that several demands put forth by Prasain echoed those articulated during the Gen-Z Uprising, highlighting the government’s responsibility to address the issues.
