Nepal’s former prime minister K P Sharma Oli has formally responded to a probe commission seeking clarification on alleged excessive force during the Gen Z protests last year. Nepal's ousted prime minister K P Sharma Oli on Sunday sent a written reply to a letter from a probe commission seeking clarification over the alleged “excessive” use of force during the Gen Z movement, an official said. The youth-led Gen Z protests on September 8 and 9 against corruption, nepotism and a social media ban escalated into violence, ultimately leading to the ouster of Oli’s coalition government. A total of 77 people lost their lives during the two-day Gen Z protests. Gen Z protesters were demanding action against those involved in the excessive use of force, including Oli and Lekhak.
