Anti-Government Protest in Nepal
The protest in Nepal started Monday morning when hundreds of thousands people hit the streets in capital Kathmandu and other cities of Nepal against corruption and crackdown on social media.
The KP Oli Sharma government had asked the social media companies active in the country to register and open their offices in Nepal.
However, except TikTok and Viber, other companies – including Facebook, WhastApp, Twitter, Instagram, refused to comply with the government guidelines.
Their refusal resulted in the ban on as many as 26 social media companies active in Nepal.
Attacks on Nepal PM, President
The violent mobs on the second day of anti-government protest Tuesday, attacked Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, President Ram Chandra Paudel and other ministers and stormed the Parliament.
Following the violence, Prime Minister Oli, President Paudel and other ministers announced their resignations.
In the worst violent protest seen in recent days, Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, wife of Nepal's former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, died on Tuesday after their home was set afire.
According to the local media reports, Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar was trapped inside when the home in Dallu area of Capital Kathmandu was set on fire by protesters led by Gen Z.
