Amid anti -corruption protests in Nepal, there is an atmosphere of political uncertainty following the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, which became violent after the ban on social media. At least 30 people killed in this unrest, 1,033 are said to be injured. This is the biggest crisis in front of Nepal’s newborn democracy since the end of the monarchy in 2008. This unrest has exposed a deep rift between the political aristocracy and the restless youth of the country. The next few weeks will determine whether the leaders of Nepal will be able to interact with the protesters, manage constitutional change, or move towards more instability – possibly new elections under interim arrangement.

Former Prime Minister of Nepal K.K. I. Singh’s grandson Yashwant Shah on Wednesday accused the government of not being able to control the recent protests properly and said that the protesters’ performance was peaceful and they had widespread public support. Shah said that on September 8, the protests in Kathmandu had called for a student organization and a large number of protesters were involved in it. He said that this protest was against corruption. Many scams have been going on for a long time and people felt that something should be done to stop them. According to Shah, this demonstration was initially supported by the young generation-Z (Jane-Z) population, which was later supported by the general public along with ‘Jane-X’. ‘Jane-Z’ means those who have been born between 1997 and 2012.
