He had participated in the protests held on September 8 and 9 and visited Gorkha some time ago following public questions raised about his citizenship status. Gurung travelled to his birthplace in Chum Nubri, Gorkha, where he met locals and submitted an application requesting an official investigation into his citizenship.
Following the Gen Z-led movement, Gurung was also directly involved in discussions related to government formation. In recent months, he has been seen engaging in political coordination involving the Rastriya Swatantra Party, Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah, and Ujyalo Nepal Party leader Kulman Ghising.
