The wife of former prime minister of Nepal Jhala Nath Khanal has died after she was burned alive when her home was set on fire amid violent anti-government protests in the country, regional media reported.

The Nepalese parliament building and the homes of political leaders were torched in the unrest, which has plunged the Himalayan state into a full-blown crisis.

The protests are led by younger people and burst open when the government banned social media, though deeper anger about political corruption and a lack of opportunities is the primary driver of the disorder.

French revolution 2.0. Corrupt leaders never learn, and this is the result.

Nepal PM should never have done the wrong by passing law against the youth Tuesday, 09 September 2025 08:31 PM

The former PM of Nepal reminds me of behaviour of Kumaratunga, Premadasa, Rajapakses, Sirisena and Wikramasighe. All those crooks and their wives are living lavish lifestyles on the backs of the hard work of youth. If not for current government the rage would've caused far worse here in the next few years.

No, it was the rulers depriving the common people of their rights and this is how it ends.

History has shown that technology can be used for both good and bad. Unfortunately, social media has revealed many of its darker sides. Today, it is difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. Opinions can be manipulated, and people or even entire countries can be destroyed by anonymous keyboard warriors spreading unsubstantiated gossip or deliberately planting false news. The same will likely happen with AI, but on a much larger and more destructive scale. The survival of the human race will be in the hand of divine powers!!

This is a good lesson to learn for any government in the world , NOT TO INVOLVED in Misusing/ mismanaging tax payers money as well as NEPOTISAM and state sponsored corruption /any form of corruption . When carefully looked in to the world history, one of the main reasons for the French revolution was NEPOTISAM and misuse of public money for selfish acts of so called leader at that time . Therefore it is once again reminded to the world that new generation of people do not stand on corruption and NEPOTISAM and do not excuse for misuse by leaders . This is a good lesson for all Sri Lankan politicians who do not listen to their citizens including younger generations even though such violence behaviours in Nepal could not be afford in a civilised society .
