NHRC Report on GenZ Protests Criticized for Omitting Key Incidents

Photo · english.ratopati.com

The National Human Rights Commission's report on the 'GenZ' movement has been criticized for omitting significant events, including the assault on Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife, and the inactivity of the Nepali Army during property destruction. The report, while holding political leadership responsible, has drawn questions for its silence on these prominent incidents and the role of then-Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah.

  • The report does not detail the physical assault on Sher Bahadur Deuba and Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba at their residence on Bhadra 24, only generally mentioning protestors entering private residences.
  • Nepali Congress General Secretary Pradip Paudel stated the report is incomplete and potentially biased, as it does not cover all publicized events.
  • The Nepali Congress has demanded the government's official response to the NHRC report and its recommendations.
  • The report's silence on the role of Balendra Shah, then-Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, and the Nepali Army's inaction during property destruction has been noted.
