Oli Alleges Planned Attack Against Constitution Following Recent Protests

Kathmandu. CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has characterized the events of Bhadra 23 and 24 as a planned assault against Nepal's constitution, the current system, and national sovereignty. While unveiling the party's election manifesto for the upcoming House of Representatives elections, Oli stated that the country currently stands at a crossroads between prudence and impulse.

He expressed serious concern that Nepal is being targeted to become a laboratory again due to the conflict between two different ideologies: one aiming to build the nation and the other seeking to dismantle it. Chairman Oli claimed external infiltration during the Bhadra 23 agitation, alleging that youths peacefully returning home were deliberately pushed towards prohibited zones to instigate violence.

He concluded that these incidents were orchestrated with the objective of attacking the system itself through street agitation after failing to overthrow a stable government through constitutional means. He questioned, "Who infiltrated the demonstration on Bhadra 23? Who pushed the youths returning home towards the prohibited zone, and why? Were these incidents spontaneous or planned?"

Oli described the dissolution of the House of Representatives as mysterious, occurring despite the Gen Z protesters having no demands against the government or the system, yet seemingly having their non-existent demands met. He argued that targeting private property, businesses, and security personnel clarified the objective of those events.

Stating that political instability is the main obstacle to national development, he clarified that the alliance of major parties is not the cause of the crisis but an honest effort to stop instability. Claiming that only the UML has a clear 'track record' of development, good governance, and construction, Oli asserted that the responsibility to rebuild destroyed structures and boost the morale of the public now rests on his party's shoulders.

He stated that the general electorate and society are surrounded by questions, and the UML will stand firm to protect the constitution and the system.
