CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli on Thursday criticized the 10-point agreement signed between the interim government and representatives of the Gen-Z People’s Movement on Wednesday, calling it a pointless drama.
The agreement was intended to address key demands raised during protests against corruption, misgovernance, impunity, and social inequality. It includes provisions to honor the families of protest martyrs, provide relief to the injured, form commissions to strengthen anti-corruption efforts, and propose improvements to Nepal’s constitution, including electoral reforms, youth participation, and proportional representation. A Gen-Z Council will also be established to advise the government and reinforce democratic processes.
However, Oli said the government lacked any legitimate mandate to negotiate with the Gen-Z groups. “The so-called agreement is nothing more than a meaningless document,” he said during an interaction with editors.
Oli added that the agreement, which was presented by the government without proper authorization, had already been rejected in practice. “That pointless drama was dismissed yesterday, and the agreement was effectively torn apart,” he said.
He said such documents should not be recognized or legitimized. “We will not accept this pointless drama in any form,” Oli said.
