The whole of Nepal is burning due to the violence that erupted after the social media ban. The houses of many ministers including PM KP Sharma Oli were burnt. Many ministers were beaten up.

Shah also said that he is ready to talk to the Army Chief as well.

Protesters in favor of Balendra Shah

The protesters are also in favor of Balendra Shah. They listen to him because he himself supported this protest. On Monday, he clearly said that no political party, leader or worker should use this protest for their own interests. Shah said that this protest is for youth below 28 years of age. Shah also kept himself away from this because he is 35 years old.

Balendra is a staunch opponent of Oli

After his statement, it started to seem that Balendra Shah might be behind this protest. Many more questions started to arise. Did Balendra instigate the youth of Nepal for this protest? This is because Balendra and Oli are considered to be bitter rivals of each other. He has been in conflict with Oli for a long time. Balendra has been a staunch opponent of Oli. This is the reason why after Oli's resignation, Balendra Shah called him (KP Sharma Oli) the killer of the country. There has been tension between Oli and Balendra earlier as well.
