KATHMANDU, Sept 8: A peaceful demonstration organized by Generation Z in Baneshwor took a dramatic turn on Monday after a group of protesters broke through barricades and forced their way into the Federal Parliament compound.
Gen Z Nepal, however, distanced itself from the incident, stressing that those who stormed the parliament were not affiliated with their campaign.

“Our movement had around 20 to 25 groups, and the plan was to march only up to Everest Hotel,” said organizer Ujen Raj Bhandari. “Those who went beyond that point are not recognized by us. We have already asked students present there to return.”
As tensions escalated, Gen Z Nepal issued an urgent appeal on social media urging participants to leave the protest site immediately.
“Please exit safely as soon as possible. Several vested groups are inciting the crowd. Our day has already been a success. Please go home safely today,” the statement read.
