Former Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli on Saturday hit out at the current dispensation, stating that the so-called ‘Gen-Z government’, which was not formed in line with constitutional provisions, was created through vandalism and arson.
Oli said, “The incumbent government is called the ‘Gen-Z government’, which is not formed in accordance with constitutional provisions, nor through the vote of the people. It is made through vandalism and arson.”

Oli further added, “On the next day, September 9, following the incident of day before, I resigned at around 11-11:30 am. Undesirable events had happed the earlier day and my attempt was to not escalate it further. But when I realised nothing is in my hand I stepped down from the post. Following it all, the incidents of arson, vandalism and looting started.”

THe former prime minister said, ““A rumour has been spread further naming me. People are incited to say, give me a gun, I will kill him; give me a sword, I will slaughter him; give me a drone, I will strike him… These things are being broadcast enthusiastically. But what role did I play?… After hearing about the news of the firing, I inquired about the situation… I was told that only the rubber bullets were fired. Later, I got to know that 14 people had died… I was asking how they were shot on the head? How can we stop it? I had that mindful thinking about measures to prevent the bloodshed and unfavourable situation in the nation. Those who are liable for the incidents would then blame it on KP Oli.”

Oli, made his first public appearance on Saturday since stepping down from leadership in the wake of the Gen Z protests that shook the country’s political establishment on September 8.
Oli, who had remained out of public view since his resignation on September 9, was initially sheltered by the Nepal Army before being shifted to a temporary residence. His reappearance follows a meeting of the CPN-UML party secretariat, as confirmed earlier by the party’s Deputy General Secretary Pradeep Gyawali.
Marking his return to the political spotlight, Oli attended a public event organised by Rastriya Yuwa Sangh, the student wing of the CPN-UML, held in Bhaktapur. His presence at the youth-centric programme is widely seen as a strategic move to reconnect with the party’s younger base, many of whom were deeply critical of his leadership during the recent crisis.
Oli’s re-emergence comes nearly three weeks after violent nationwide demonstrations led by Gen Z protestors demanding political accountability, an end to entrenched corruption, and the reversal of a controversial social media ban. The protests, primarily driven by students and young citizens, rapidly escalated into Nepal’s bloodiest day since the 2006 pro-democracy movement.
