Undermining Gen-Z's demands

 

The nation witnessed Kathmandu’s skies glowing red, smoke and fire filled the night, burning down carefully selected homes of political leaders and reducing decades of failed politics to ashes  on September 8–9, 2025 (2082 Bhadra 23–24),.

 

Angry Gen-Z protesters directly targeted the private residences of nation’s top leaders. Their chant was clear and sharp: “Enough! Is Enough”. So-called senior leaders who had repeatedly pushed the nation into crisis were flatly rejected at their very doorsteps. Former prime ministers K. P. Sharma Oli, Sher Bahadur Deuba, Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ Madhav Kumar Nepal, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, and Jhala Nath Khanal were the first to face the fury. They were the leaders who played political musical chairs for decades yet failed to deliver stability.

 

The protesters’ angry did not stop there. The properties of so-called “second generation” leaders—Gagan Thapa, Bishwa Prakash Sharma, Mahesh Basnet, Gokul Baskota, Renu Dahal—were also engulfed by public anger. The Gen-Z uprising was not simply about burning houses; it was the writing of a new chapter in the nation’s political culture—a decisive rejection of greed and power.

 

Time has come for these leaders for seriously contemplating their political blunders and having sincere political dialogue among them and their cadres to move forwards as challenged by the Gen-Z. If they failed to seriously correct their past political mistakes and manoeuvrings, their political existences do not seem too far.

 

I found this wonderful VDO much relevant to their downfall. Please enjoy.
