He accused Sushila Karki-led government of "throwing the country into insecurity" by targeting political opponents. Issuing a challenge to the Karki government, Oli said that they should publish any communications he had with state officials during the protests. His statement comes after he denied the reports that he had ordered firing at Gen Z protesters. &nbsp;&nbsp;"Do you think we will flee by handing over the nation to this groundless government?" he asked supporters. "Publish them with courage. Make public the instructions I gave," he said. "On social media, there are open calls to attack my residence. What is the government doing? Just watching?" he asked. An NHRC report stated that the government's failure to anticipate protest intensity and low morale among security forces led to high casualties and damage.
