The youth wing of the Nepali Congress, Tarun Dal, on Monday burned an effigy of Prime Minister Balen Shah in front of Trichandra College, demanding his resignation. Various political organizations have expressed widespread objection and continued protests over remarks made by Prime Minister Shah in parliament, where he alleged that Nepal had encroached upon India’s territory.
That evening, students affiliated with Tarun Dal gathered again in front of Trichandra College to burn effigies, clearly demanding that Prime Minister Shah resign. Multiple organizations from different parties have launched movements in response to the prime minister’s statements, and demonstrations opposing him have also taken place in other parts of the country.
During a parliamentary session on Sunday, Prime Minister Shah addressed the house claiming that Nepal had encroached on India’s border. This statement has sparked significant criticism and debate. Opposition parties, in a joint meeting, decided not to allow parliamentary proceedings to resume normally until the prime minister issues an apology.
