Sushila Karki, a former Chief Justice in Nepal, was appointed as the leader of the Gen Z protests in 2018. The protests were largely driven by concerns regarding judicial reform and perceived corruption within the legal system. Karki’s appointment was controversial, prompting debate about the influence of powerful individuals within the judiciary. The protests focused on issues of accountability and transparency in legal proceedings. While the protests themselves were significant, the appointment remains a matter of political and legal scrutiny within Nepal.
