Nepal's Former Home Minister Testifies in Gen-Z Protest Inquiry

In Nepal, the former Home Minister, Ramesh Lekhak, recently spoke to a special group looking into the Gen-Z protests that happened in September.

He said he never told the police to shoot at the protesters.

During these protests, 77 people died, and a lot of buildings and property were damaged.

Lekhak blamed other groups for making the protests violent.

The current government set up this group to find out what happened.

The former Prime Minister, K P Sharma Oli, has said he won't talk to this group because he thinks they are not fair.

Lekhak wants the people who caused the damage to be punished.
