In a dramatic escalation of Nepal’s ongoing political unrest, protesters set fire to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s private residence in Balkot, Bhaktapur, on Tuesday. The attack comes amid a wave of Gen-Z-led protests that erupted following a controversial social media ban, which was later revoked after violent backlash. What began as a digital rights movement has now transformed into a broader anti-corruption uprising, with protestors demanding Oli’s resignation and government accountability.Eyewitnesses report that thousands of demonstrators gathered near the PM’s residence, breaching police barricades and pelting stones before igniting parts of the property. Security forces attempted crowd control without lethal force, using water cannons and tear gas, but failed to stop the enraged youth. The situation remains tense across Kathmandu and other major cities.Nine cabinet ministers, including the Home and Agriculture Ministers, resigned earlier today, citing moral responsibility and disagreement with government policies. An emergency all-party meeting is scheduled for this evening, where sources suggest PM Oli may announce his resignation.The attack on the Prime Minister’s residence is symbolic of public fury and may mark a turning point in Nepal’s political crisis.
