CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has accused the Maoists of playing a role in inciting violence and vandalism during the Bhadra 24 protest.

He said this while talking to Rupesh Shrestha on Kantipur Television's program ' Fireside '.

Speaking against the backdrop of Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal standing in parliament when Oli was the Prime Minister and declaring that this country would become Bangladesh, he claimed that the Maoists had deployed fighters during the protest. Oli said that the Maoists had involved their people in the movement and said, 'Involving your people is like participating yourself. Not one person, not two. They have created and sent Gen-G. People have been deployed. And, there was an attempt to cover up the truth.'

He has also questioned the role played by Maoist Chairman Dahal after the Gen-G movement. He has also commented that Dahal is supporting Prime Minister Karki to fulfill his own interests. He also said that there was a reason for Dahal to support Prime Minister Karki, saying, 'I don't know whether Prachandaji is afraid or to save himself or for what, but he is supporting the Prime Minister.' Oli argued that he is not a person like Dahal, saying that he fought for democracy all his life and that he loves it, and said, 'I remember everything I had to go through while writing this constitution, while issuing it! It should be amended. But amending and repealing are different things! I am not in favor of repealing this constitution.'
