According to the publication, the politicians were injured as a result of beatings by protesters. It is noted that the protesters also set fire to a private school owned by the Foreign Minister.

The mass protests that have taken place in Nepal in recent days have escalated into a full-scale political crisis. The protesters, most of whom were young people known as “Generation Z”, took to the streets on September 4 after the government’s decision to ban 26 popular social networks: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter) and YouTube.
