Nepal’s Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned following massive unrest triggered by the government’s decision to ban 26 social media platforms. The move, aimed at controlling online activity, sparked widespread anger among the youth and led to violent protests across the country.
Clashes between protesters and security forces caused heavy loss of life and property. As the situation spiraled out of control, pressure mounted on Oli to step down.
His resignation marked a dramatic political turn, leaving Nepal without strong leadership at a critical moment. Oli’s exit has deepened political instability and created serious uncertainty about Nepal’s future.
