Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had given advance warning of an uprising in the Himalayan nation, K.P. Sharma Oli has told RT<\/p>\n
The Gen Z protests that led to the ouster of Nepal\u2019s government in September 2025 were unusual and organized in a planned way, Nepal\u2019s former prime minister, K.P. Sharma Oli, has told RT India.
\nOli resigned as Nepal\u2019s prime minister after violent clashes \u2013 known as the Gen Z protests \u2013 killed 77 and injured more than 2,000.
\n\u201cThat was not a simple and usual thing. That was unusual, and it couldn\u2019t have taken place all of a sudden. It was organized in a planned way, it seems even at that time and later on,\u201d Oli said in an exclusive interview on Monday.
\nThe former Nepali PM said Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had warned that the protests that happened in these countries could happen in Nepal as well.
\n\u201cBangladesh and Sri Lanka were telling us\u2026 Leaders were talking that such things would happen, and things happened. It was an attack on our democracy to send back them to poverty,\u201d Oli said.
\nHe added that the current situation in Nepal is not conducive to holding elections.
\nFormer Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed Nepal\u2019s interim prime minister after Oli\u2019s ouster last year.
\nA general election is scheduled for March.
