VT staff | Kathmandu, Nepal- The coordinators of the Gen Z movement, which has surged against corruption and social media manipulation, said that the movement is nearing its goal of rebuilding Nepal. The group drew attention to certain elements attempting looting and destruction of public property during the protests. They also announced that tomorrow, Wednesday, the movement will enter a phase of dialogue with relevant parties. A recently issued statement clarified that Gen Z will not, under any circumstances, accept looting or vandalism carried out in the name of its movement.”
According to a report, the Gen-Z protest movement in Nepal has called to immediately freeze the bank accounts of leading politicians.
Organizers say this measure is a necessary anti-corruption step as unrest spreads nationwide. Virginia Times has not confirmed whether a formal request has reached the Nepal Rastra Bank or any other regulatory body, and officials have not yet issued public statements on the demand.
Local reports and widely shared videos suggest a large amount of cash was discovered at the home of Energy Minister Dipak Khadka. Protesters were seen gathering the money and tossing it into the air before the residence was set ablaze. It is not clear about the amount of cash, or the precise events leading to the fire.
In a statement, the Nepali Army has urged an immediate halt to ongoing incidents of looting, arson, and vandalism during the current protests. The army also warned that if such activities continue, it will take strong measures to bring the situation under control. The Army said that starting from 10 PM on Bhadra 24, it—along with other security agencies—will firmly assume its responsibilities.
