Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli Resign: Prime Minister Oli has resigned amid the uproar after the ban on social media apps in Nepal. The Army Chief had suggested him to leave the chair.
Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned from his post on Tuesday (September 9). Army Chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel had advised KP Sharma to step down. He had said that the situation will improve only after resignation. Gen-Z is protesting against the ban on social media apps in Nepal. The protesters had set fire to the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli recently resigned amid growing protests led by Gen Z that rocked Kathmandu and other parts of Nepal. The protests were sparked primarily over the government's controversial social media ban and corruption allegations, leading to violent clashes and widespread unrest. Students and youth activists led the protests, raising angry slogans against the Oli administration, including demands for his immediate resignation.
The violent protests resulted in a large number of casualties, with at least 19 people reported dead and hundreds injured during police action. Several ministers in Oli's coalition government resigned in response to the government's handling of the unrest, increasing political pressure on the Prime Minister. Despite initial denials by government officials that Oli had resigned, amid the growing crisis and growing public anger, KP Sharma Oli decided to resign from his post.
This situation led to dramatic incidents like the burning of Oli's personal residence in Balakot and attacks on the houses of other political leaders. After the resignation announcement, an all-party meeting was called to consider the selection of a successor and restoring peace in the country. The government also lifted the ban on social media, which had triggered a wave of protests.
The resignation is a turning point in Nepali politics, taking place against the backdrop of deep discontent among the younger generation over issues such as political corruption and limited freedom. KP Sharma Oli's departure paves the way for political restructuring, as Nepal grapples with challenges of governance and social stability amid a vibrant youth-driven movement.
