In the second session of 396th session, demo session of Karl Proper Debate Championship (KPDC) was held. The session was coordinated by Mr. Abdus Salam Miya. The motion of the debate was “THBT Nepal is a fell state”. In the Proposition side i.e. for the motion, Mr. Shishir Siwakoti, Miss Samiksha Neupane and Mr. Prabin Basyal gave their arguments whereas in the Opposition side i.e. against the motion, Mr. Pradeep Ghimire, Mr. Nitish Pathak and Mr. Manish Kandel gave their arguments.
The second session was quiet interesting than usual debating session because there were messages sent to coordinator by the audiences which he read in front of all of us which made the session humorous and quiet interesting. Also time keeper Mr. Deepak Bhandari had a new approach of time keeping. A clap for a staring one minute and a clap in for one minute left followed by 10 sec finger countdown and a ring of bell at the end made the time keeping unique and interesting as well.
After the KPDC Debate was ended, some audiences asked the questions and then 2 audiences for proposition, 2 audiences for opposition and 1 for neutral side was allowed to present their view.
Finally role division was done and the session ended successfully.
