Why SKM Party Karyakartas Are Silent on the Birendra Prasad Issue

Many people are asking a simple but important question: why are SKM party karyakartas quiet on the Birendra Prasad issue?
The silence of SKM karyakartas on the Birendra Prasad issue does not necessarily mean the issue is unimportant. It reflects party discipline, fear, strategy, lack of information, loyalty, and political culture. However, in a democracy, people expect transparency and honest communication. Silence may protect the party temporarily, but open dialogue builds long-term trust.
