Kathmandu – Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’, General Secretary of the Nepal Communist Party, has said that the recent Gen-Z uprising marks a historic turning point, and with the fall of the arrogant regime, it is now crucial to draft a constitution that truly represents the people.

Speaking at a vigilance meeting today at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu, Biplav said, “We owe our thanks to the Gen-Z youth. Our party also fought, but what they have achieved now is something we couldn’t. If caution is not taken, even this uprising could be at risk of collapsing.”

He attributed the uprising to the arrogance of the ruling class, widespread corruption, and a government that ignored the people’s voice. “When the corrupt continued to defy the public, humiliated citizens, and ruled through force and arbitrary arrests, the Gen-Z uprising erupted,” he said.

Although the Gen-Z is not a political party, Biplav expressed support for their efforts, saying they accomplished what established parties could not. “By demanding an end to corruption, the dissolution of parliament, rewriting the constitution, and direct election of the executive, the Gen-Z has created a new turning point,” he added.

However, he warned that the interim government formed after the movement poses a risk to the continuity of the uprising. “If the new generation does not take decisive action immediately, the Gen-Z uprising could end up in a worse situation than any previous movement in Nepal,” he said.

Biplav also accused domestic and foreign powers of trying to seize control of post-uprising Nepal. “Some foreign forces are attempting to take over Nepal after the Gen-Z uprising. Relying solely on the state machinery to bring change is a misconception,” he said.

Thanking the youth for toppling the arrogant regime, he said, “Parliament was manipulated for party interests and national betrayal occurred. The corrupt and arrogant system has fallen, and I want to thank the Gen-Z youth for that.”

He also pointed out that while the constitution declares Nepal a republic, it does not yet reflect the people’s aspirations. “Because of the self-interest of political parties, the people’s demand for justice was ignored. Even after enduring two years of restrictions, the voices against corruption and injustice have not been silenced,” Biplav added.
