KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli following the deaths of 19 students during Monday’s Gen Z protest against corruption, privilege, generational wealth, and the social media ban.

Taking to Facebook, Mayor Shah accused Oli of failing to understand the grief of parents who lost their children in the protests.

“You only became the father of hired loyalists. If you had ever truly become a father, you would understand the pain of losing sons and daughters,” Shah wrote.

He further described the violent crackdown as an unprecedented act of terror.

“The world has never witnessed such terrorism,” he stated, directly accusing Oli of acting as a terrorist rather than a leader.

Shah ended his post with the hashtag #KPOliIsTerrorist, intensifying his criticism of the prime minister’s handling of the crisis.

The remarks come as political tension deepens after police opened fire on protesters, leaving 19 students dead and scores injured across the country.
