Rewrite the Constitution and look into the three decades’ worth of loot: Nepal Gen Z protestors’ demand

The Gen Z demonstrators in Nepal, who overthrew the administration of Prime Minister KP Sharma, have outlined a number of political and social demands, including calling for extensive governance reforms and an examination of the assets that politicians have embezzled over the last thirty years.

All individuals who died during the protests will be formally recognized as martyrs, according to the organization, and their families will get state honors, recognition, and assistance. Additionally, the organizers promised particular initiatives to address social inequality, reduce migration, and fight unemployment.

“This movement is for the future of the country and the entire generation, not for any one party or person. The demonstrators’ declaration stated, “Peace is necessary, but it can only be achieved on the basis of a new political system.”

The panel hoped that their suggestions would be positively implemented by the President and the Nepali Army.

KEY DEMANDS

• Immediate dissolution of the current House of Representatives, which the protesters say has lost public trust
• Amendment or complete rewriting of the Constitution with active participation from citizens, experts, and youth
• Conducting new elections after the interim period, ensuring they are independent, fair, and based on direct public participation
• Establishment of a directly elected executive leadership
• Investigation into assets looted over the past three decades, with illegal properties to be nationalised
• Structural reform and restructuring of five fundamental institutions: education, health, justice, security, and communications

Nepal is still burning.

A day after violent anti-government rallies swept through Nepal, prompting Prime Minister KP Oli to quit and leave the country, army personnel began to spread out across Kathmandu and other cities early on Wednesday morning, imposing restraining orders and bringing peace back.

Unrest persisted even after the present government fell, when demonstrators set fire to the nation’s Parliament building. In an effort to quell the disturbance, the Army took over direction of national security operations Friday night and enforced restrictions in a number of locations throughout the nation, including the towns of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur.

There are some groups who are “taking undue advantage of the difficult situation” and committing “severe damage to ordinary citizens and public property,” according to a statement from the Army.

Oli resigned soon after hundreds of protesters stormed his office, demanding accountability for at least 22 deaths during Monday’s Gen Z-led demonstrations against corruption and a short-lived social media ban.
