"We don't ...": Injured protesters regret the destruction of Gen Z protests; Nepal gets his first wife, Sushila Karki
Nepal returned almost two days after the vigorous Gen Z protests in the country, which killed at least 51 people, and injured more than 1700 others. Even when the dust settled, some of the injured protesters regretted the destruction of state property, with one of them saying that “it was never their intention to destroy the government’s property,” reports Kathmandu Post. “We did not destroy the government’s property, nor our intention,” one of the protesters – Liza Adhikari – told the Nepali media. Ruling party offices, the former PM Oli house of Nepal in Balkot, and buildings in Janakpur were set on fire, while Genz protests raged through the country on Monday, September 8, and former chief justice Sushila Karki was sworn as the first woman of Nepal, who had the task to lead and restore a interim government. What’s the next for Nepal? President Ramchandra Paudel said the new caretaker led by the interim premier Karki is the mandate to keep fresh parliamentary election within six months. In the first meeting of her cabinet, she is probably reported the president’s dissolution and the president, according to an understanding of the negotiations between youth leaders. What were the demands of Genz protesters? During the press, the president of Nepal and Army meets, Gen-Z representatives warned that the political parties should not use the protesters for their vested interests. “It’s purely a civil movement, so don’t try to play politics with this,” one activist said. “There is a challenge before us to protect national sovereignty, unity and to maintain self -respect,” says Dangal, a representative. Referring to the violence during the protests, Gen-Z leaders said: “We have asked for a peaceful protest, but the political cadres caused the arson and vandalized the infrastructure.” President Paudel took the oath of office to Karki on Friday.
