Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli addressed supporters at a party gathering in Gundu, Bhaktapur, declaring his intention to remain in Nepal despite being removed from office by recent youth demonstrations. The CPN-UML leader challenged the legitimacy of the current administration led by Sushila Karki, describing it as groundless and formed through violence rather than popular mandate.
Protesters destroyed Oli's residence on September 9, forcing him to seek military protection for nine days before relocating to rental accommodation. He criticized the government for allegedly planning to revoke passports of former officials while failing to provide adequate security despite ongoing threats.
The National Human Rights Commission attributed significant casualties during the protests to Oli's administration's excessive use of force against demonstrators.
