I want to put forward a short commitment (pratibaddhata). This is not only mine. This is the commitment of our whole Samana Battalion cultural movement. I take the commitment to fulfill the dream of the martyrs. […] We, cultural workers, want to give you our commitment. In this coming storm, we will also, at any cost, play our role. This commitment we put in front of you. What we are singing in front of you people, these all are your own songs, including your pains, your tears, your happiness. Through these songs we can stop the hidden royalist system from raising their head and to stop them we will go to Singha Durbar and to the Royal Palace with harmoniums and guitars. Then, if it does not work, we will join the PLA [People's Liberation Army] to enter Narayanhiti [Royal Palace]. This is our oath. You may wonder, ‘how can you reach Narayanhiti?’ You can see it in our banner, Samana Cultural Battalion, Battalion means warriors, cultural war, cultural army, cultural fighters. We are not only cultural workers. We don't want to be only artists. Political people and intellectuals say that artists should be independent, they should not have any political affiliation, they should not be attached to politics. But we say we are artists and we want to join politics. We want to sing the songs of the people. Politics is a way to free suffocated people. We, artists, want to do the same. This is our commitment as artists.
