The Nepal finance minister, beaten up by protesters amid Gen Z unrest has become a shocking highlight of the country’s political crisis. Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel was chased, kicked, and assaulted on the streets of Kathmandu as demonstrations spiraled out of control.
Videos of the incident went viral, showing young protesters attacking the minister and shouting slogans against corruption. Crowds also threw stones at his residence, adding to the fury directed at Nepal’s political leadership.
The Nepal finance minister beaten up by protesters amid Gen Z unrest reflects the anger of thousands of youths who accuse the government of corruption, nepotism, and blocking opportunities for development. Demonstrators marched through Kathmandu with placards demanding accountability and chanting slogans for reform.
The violence is part of the wider Gen Z protest movement that has already forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign. Protesters stormed government buildings, set vehicles on fire, and clashed with police. Authorities responded with curfews and heavy security, but the unrest continues to spread.
Paudel’s assault highlights the severity of the crisis gripping Nepal. The protests show no sign of ending as young people call for a corruption-free future and a stronger democracy.
