Gen Z has toppled the government in Nepal. The anger of the youth does not seem to be calming down. The anger of Gen Z towards the ruling class is visible on social media. The luxurious life of the children and relatives of the leaders, nepotism, and corruption have added fuel to the fire of anger of the youth of Nepal.

 

On social media, the youth shared pictures and videos of the luxurious lives of the children of the leaders. The youth who reached the Parliament premises raised slogans that our tax, your riches will not work. This is not just an expression of anger, but a digital rebellion which is now visible on the streets. The social media ban just added fuel to the fire, behind which there was long-standing frustration and anger.

 

Allegations of nepotism

 

Nepotism in Nepal's politics is spread from the capital to villages and towns. Many members of the Deuba family are in politics in the Nepali Congress. For example, KP Oli's relative Anjan Shakya was recommended to be made a member of the National Assembly and the President also appointed him.

 

Close relatives became ambassadors.

 

Serious questions were raised on the selection of Nepal's ambassadors to Australia, Qatar, Bangladesh, and Spain. There are allegations that many of these were relatives or close to the leaders, while qualified people were ignored. Mahesh Dahal was made the ambassador to Australia, who is said to be a close relative of Maoist leader Prachanda (Pushpa Kamal Dahal). Narada Bhardwaj was sent to Qatar. He is said to be KP Sharma Oli's confidant.

 

The President and the Army Chief appealed for restraint and talks.

 

President Ramchandra Paudel has appealed to the agitators to exercise restraint and join the talks for a peaceful solution. He said, The country is going through difficult circumstances. Prime Minister Oli's resignation has been accepted, so the cooperation of all parties who love the country, people, and democracy is needed to find a solution to the deadlock.

 

Nepal's army chief said this.

Nepal's army chief Ashok Raj Sigdel said, now that the PM's resignation has been accepted, there should be no further loss of life and property. People are urged to protect historical, cultural, and national things and maintain peace.
