Pokhara, 19 October | CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, in his first visit to the party’s central office since the recent Gen Z movement, issued aggressive statements on political and social issues, challenging the government to investigate assets from any period after 1950 (2007 B.S.). Oli asserted his readiness for a thorough investigation, stating, “If we must investigate after 1950, let’s do it. If we must investigate after 1990 (2046 B.S.) or after 2006 (2062/063 B.S.), let’s do it. Let’s investigate property details starting from whenever.” He also urged party leaders and cadres across the country to prepare for a strong opposition against the current government and the dissolution of the House of Representatives.
Oli criticized the government, accusing it of holding daily meetings to devise ways to arrest him and fabricate false charges. He attributed the rise of incidents like the August 24th event (24 Bhadra) to a breakdown of social values and order, stating that when society falls into “anarchy,” things go “out of control.” He labeled such trends as an attack on culture, lamenting that “destruction can be done in a matter of hours.” Furthermore, Oli was highly critical of current social media trends, denouncing the ‘nepo baby’ trend as a “horrific attack on the tender child psychology” and calling the past ‘Me Too’ campaign “nonsense” and “unnecessary,” urging people not to adopt such foreign customs.
The former Prime Minister described the post-Gen Z uprising situation, which involved arson and severe damage, as having put the country in a state of ‘trauma’. He pledged that the UML would restore peace and good governance in the country, while simultaneously attacking the government for allegedly becoming “angry” when he speaks about peace. On the political front, Oli expressed strong objection to the dissolution of the Parliament, a body elected by the people. He called the action ‘regression’ (Pratigaman) and demanded that it be corrected with the immediate reinstatement of the House of Representatives. Concluding his remarks on the political state, Oli asserted that the current government lacks a foundation, and its claim of holding an election in February is merely a deception of the public, firmly stating that the election “is not going to happen.”
