CHAOS IN NEPAL: Politicians BAN Social Media over Alleged “Misinformation” — Furious Gen Z Protesters TORCH Parliament, Ex-PM’s Wife Burned Alive as Protesters Set His Home on Fire

Nepal is in complete meltdown after the government’s insane decision to BAN the internet’s largest platforms under the excuse of fighting “misinformation.”

On September 4, 2025, Nepal’s ruling elites declared war on free speech, abruptly banning 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Reddit, citing “failure to register” under new regulations, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The heavy-handed ban backfired instantly. Thousands of angry young Nepalis, mostly Gen Z, poured into the streets.

For years, they’ve lived under corruption, poverty, and elite privilege. Now, with their digital lifeline severed, they erupted in rage.

What began as peaceful demonstrations escalated into an all-out youth rebellion on Monday and Tuesday.

Security forces, following the orders of the same corrupt politicians who shut down social media, responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and even live ammunition. At least 19 protesters were killed and hundreds were wounded, according to The Guardian.

Enraged crowds began torching symbols of power across Kathmandu and beyond. Nepal’s Parliament was set ablaze as rioters stormed the compound.

WATCH:

The Prime Minister’s residence and homes of several former leaders were burned to the ground.

Most shocking of all, Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal, was burned alive when demonstrators torched his home.

The Hindustan Times reported:

Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Prime Minister, Jhalanath Khanal died of burn injuries on Tuesday after her house was set on fire by protestors in Nepal’s Dallu. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but she died during the treatment.

The incident took place at Dallu, a posh locality in Kathmandu, where protesters trapped Rajyalaxmi inside her house and set it on fire during a protest against the government, local media Khabarhub reported. She sustained severe burn injuries and was rushed to Kirtipur Burn Hospital and was in critical condition.

Chitrakar suffered major burn injuries on multiple parts of her body, including her lungs, the report said. She later died in the hospital during the treatment.

"Bob Seeger not going to Katmandu"

I'm confused here. Why are people so mad? Just what exactly did Katmandu?

This is an interesting ongoing event. Leftists politicians, found with their corrupt hands in various tills, try to suppress information by suppressing media, and therefore speech.

Where have we been hearing like-structured news of late? Seems a theme these days....

Prediction.

Not saying I agree, but it would not surprise me to see China or India intervene in this situation.

The government. It was a communist government that apparently has ended with Romanian style term limits.

That sounds about right. She might have given him cat scratch fever. Ted Nugent is on the case.
