KATHMANDU, March 27: Both the Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML have raised serious concerns over the report submitted by the inquiry commission led by Gauri Bahadur Karki on the Gen Z protests.
At a press briefing in Sanepa on Thursday, NC spokesperson Devaraj Chalise described the report as “incomplete and somewhat partial.” He noted that while the commission shed light on the events of September 8, it left key questions about the September 9 incident unresolved.

"At a first glance, it appears incomplete and partial. We need a thorough study to form a concrete view," Chalise said. NC plans to establish a committee comprising legal experts, governance specialists, and youth activists involved in the Gen Z movement to review both the Karki Commission report and findings submitted by the National Human Rights Commission. The committee’s assessment will guide the party’s official stance.
Meanwhile, CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli has strongly rejected allegations recommended against him in the report. Speaking to newly elected parliamentarians, Oli called the claims “absurd drama” and questioned the logic of being treated as a criminal for serving as prime minister.
"Do we have to be criminals just because we were prime ministers? These are tasteless, theatrical acts lacking any creativity," Oli said, vowing that his party will continue its work while upholding truth and justice. The commission had recommended immediate action against Oli for his role during the protests.
