Light is an em wave and by definition I know that em wave is oscillating electric and magnetic field. So Why doesn't light apply force on charged particles as it has both electric and magnetic field?

EM radiation applies a force to charged particles. See:

Index of refraction.

Antenna (esp. Rx side).

Plasma cutoff frequency.

Compton scattering.

Bremsstrahlung (literally: braking radiation.)
