Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep fear of the spiral violence in Nepal on Tuesday, who left at least 22 people to death and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli forced to resign. Emphasizes that the “stability, peace and prosperity” of the neighboring nation was of the utmost importance for India, PM Modi urged citizens of Nepal to support calmness in the aftermath of the unrest.
“The violence in Nepal is heartbreaking. I am afraid that many young people have lost their lives. The stability, peace and prosperity of Nepal are of the utmost importance for us. I am humble to all my brothers and sisters in Nepal to support peace,” wrote Premier Modi on X.
PM Modi, who today visited the Punjab and Himachal Pradeshit flooding hit, said that a cabinet committee for safety meeting discussed developments in Nepal.
His comments then came in Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli forced to resign on Tuesday, a day after 20 people were killed and about 100 injured when security forces rubber bullets and tear gas shots on protesters trying to storm the parliament. The government, which had imposed a radical ban on social media last week, increased the limitations after the violence, but protests continued despite an indefinite curfew.
Oli, 73, offered his resignation to President Ramchandra Paudel and said that he was resigning to “facilitate the solution to the problem and to resolve politically in accordance with the Constitution.” Paudel started consulting to select a new prime minister and also called protest leaders for conversations.
The protests, called “Gen Z demonstrations” by organizers, have drawn tens of thousands of young Nepalis in the streets of Kathmandu and other cities. They accuse the government of unbridled corruption, deepening inequality and neglecting economic opportunities for the youth of the country. More than one in five fakeis lives in poverty, while the unemployment of youth is over 22%, according to the World Bank.
Frying evening clock order, demonstrators set tires on fire, stones with the police and focused on the houses of politicians. Local media reports stated that various ministers had to be evacuated by military helicopters, while Oli’s home and parts of the administrative complex of Singha Durbar were set on fire. The most important international airport in Kathmandu was temporarily closed due to heavy smoke of burning.
Jubbling young people broke into parliament complex after news about the resignation of Oli, while he “won” scrubbed in large orange letters on a wall while they waved flags and shouted slogans. Yet the organizers insisted on restraint and said their movement was about accountability, not about violence.
Nepal has poured the unrest in fresh political uncertainty. Nepal has struggled with political instability since he deleted his 239-year-old monarchy in 2008. In the years since then, the country has seen 14 different governments, which have not succeeded in serving a full period of five years. Oli, now 73, was noticed for the fourth time last year.
For India, which shares narrow historical and cultural ties with Nepal, but also views the growing influence of China, the instability next door has a considerable strategic weight.
