Nepal: Gen Z leaders say this movement started after getting fed up with old-aged leaders | 10 points

Soon after the meeting with the Nepal Army Chief concluded, the Gen Z leaders on Thursday said they did this movement after getting fed up with the old-aged leaders and had called for a peaceful protest, but the political cadres caused the arson and then vandalised the infrastructure. They also said they will work in coordination with the Army for the reconstruction and cleaning of the country. 

Gen-Z leader Anil Baniya says, “We did this movement after getting fed up with the old-aged leaders. We had called for a peaceful protest, but the political cadres caused the arson and then vandalised the infrastructure. Through online surveys, the Gen-Z leaders voted for Sushila Karki. We are not trying to change the constitution, but make necessary changes to it. Within 6 months, we will head to the election…”

According to Gen Z, Susheela Karki is the best person in today’s situation to lead the country as she has a lot of experience as former Chief Justice.
