The protests that began with the ban on social media in Nepal have spiraled out of control. While there are fierce clashes between protesters and security forces across the country, a horrifying news has emerged.
FORMER NEPAL PRIME MINISTER'S WIFE DIES IN FIRE
Protesters set fire to the home of former Nepal Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal in Kathmandu. In the ensuing fire, Khanal's wife, Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, was caught in the flames. Chitrakar burned to death.
PROTESTERS SET FIRE TO PARLIAMENT BUILDING
Meanwhile, according to a report by The Kathmandu Post, the federal parliament building and the supreme court building were set on fire. Following these attacks on state buildings, the Nepalese army, police, and senior officials called on the protesters to exercise restraint and engage in political dialogue.
BAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN NEPAL
In Nepal, on September 4, access to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, X, Reddit, and LinkedIn platforms was blocked on the grounds that applications for registration with the Nepal Ministry of Communication and Information Technology were not submitted within the given time frame. In response, the protesters, mostly young people, marched towards the parliament building to protest the social media ban as well as allegations of corruption.
NUMEROUS DEAD AND INJURED
In the escalating protests, the police used water cannons, tear gas, and live ammunition against the protesters. In the incidents that occurred, 19 people lost their lives, and over 400 were injured.
PRIME MINISTER AND MINISTERS RESIGN
Subsequently, the Nepalese government announced that the social media ban would be lifted, and Interior Minister Ramesh Lekhak, Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Ramnath Adhikari, and Minister of Water Supply Pradeep Yadav announced their resignations. Despite these statements, the protests did not subside, and attacks were carried out on the homes of political figures and ministers, including the burning of the Nepal Congress Party's central office in the Sanepa area and two residences of Nepal Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli.
As the Nepalese army began to evacuate ministers from their residences by helicopter due to the increasing incidents, all domestic and international flights at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu were canceled today due to security concerns.
In a statement from the Nepal Prime Minister's Office, it was announced that Prime Minister Oli had resigned following the violent protests and the reactions against the government.
