‘Nepal protesters killed by ‘infiltrators’ with automatic guns…’: KP Oli makes BIG claim, says his govt didn’t…, demands probe into…

Nepal Gen-Z protest: Deposed Nepalese prime minister KP Sharma Oli, who resurfaced on Friday for the first time since September 9, has made stunning claims about the killing protesters during the Nepal Gen-Z protest which toppled his regime, claiming that the agitators, which included a 12-year-old school boy, were not killed by the Nepal Police, but gunned down by “infiltrators” with automatic weapons, which the cops don’t have.

Who killed protesters during Nepal Gen-Z protest?

In his message on Nepal’s Constitution Day, Oli claimed that his government did not order the armed forces to shoot at protesters, and alleged that there was “infiltration” in the protests, which needs an inquiry. “The government didn’t order to shoot at the demonstrators. The bullets were fired at the protesters from automatic guns, which were not possessed by the police personnel, and this must be investigated upon,” Oli claimed in his message in a Facebook post.

The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) chairman blamed “infiltrators” for the killing of at least 19 protesters on the first day of the Nepal Gen-Z protest on September 8, and demanded an inquiry into the incident. “The infiltrating conspirators turned the agitation violent, and this way our youths were killed.”

The deposed leader noted that several government buildings were torched after he had resigned, hinting that there may have been outside forces who infiltrated the protest.

“The Singhdurbar Secretariat and Supreme Court were set on fire, Nepal’s map was burnt and many important government buildings were set on fire after I resigned from the post. I don’t want to elaborate on the conspiracies behind these incidents, time will speak for itself,” he said.

Oli also recalled the challenges Nepal had faced while promulgating the Constitution and urged the Nepalese people to unite to defend the country’s sovereignty. “The Constitution was promulgated in the midst of a border blockade and challenges against national sovereignty. All generations of Nepalis must unite — to confront the assault on our sovereignty and to defend our Constitution,” Oli said.

Nepal Gen-Z protest

KP Sharma Oli stepped down as the prime minister of Nepal on September 9 after hundreds of protesters stormed his office, demanding his resignation following the killing of at least 19 people in police action during Nepal Gen-Z protest on September 8.

According to official figures, 72 people, including three policemen, were killed during the violent protests that changed the country’s political landscape and put former Chief Justice Sushila Karki on the top post as the leader of a caretaker government.
