Gen-Z got played with in Nepal, army chased away the representatives who came for talks
The movement against social media ban and corruption in Nepal continues for the third day today. Now the command of security and talks is in the hands of the Nepali army. But the question is that with whom should the army talk because no single leader of the movement is coming forward.
International News: The Zen-G movement that started in Nepal against social media ban and corruption is now getting out of control. More than 20 people have lost their lives in three days and hundreds are injured. The situation worsened so much that Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli had to resign and leave Kathmandu. Now the command of the entire country is in the hands of the Nepali Army.
Army chief Ashok Raj Sigdel himself issued a video message and called the protesters for talks. But when some groups reached for talks, the army itself questioned their authenticity and turned them back. According to sources, the group led by Purushottam Yadav was turned back, while another statement was issued in the name of Rabikiran Hamal. The result is that the army is confused and the protesters themselves are not able to decide who the real leader is. That is, the entire game of talks with Gen-Z has gone awry.
The President's appeal also failed
President Ramchandra Paudel has also appealed to the youth to adopt the path of dialogue. This step has been taken after an informal discussion between Sigdel and youth representatives at Shital Niwas on Tuesday night. The main agenda will be to dissolve the parliament, form a new government and hold elections. But according to the current constitution, forming a new government seems impossible at the moment. The army is handling the security, but finding a political solution has become a tough task for it as well.
All eyes are on Balen Shah
In this entire battle, Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah is the most talked about name. A large section of the youth wants him to come forward and take the leadership. But Shah has remained silent till now. The lack of organized leadership in the movement has confused its direction. The army wants to negotiate, but there is no solid representative in front. The result is that Nepal is currently stuck in a governance vacuum and the Gen-Z movement is moving towards stagnation due to being leaderless.
