New York: In 2025, youth-led protests erupted everywhere from Morocco to Nepal, Madagascar and Europe. A generation refused to remain silent in the face...
Nearly 10,000 crowded the streets outside Kathmandu International Airport, where King Gyanendra Shah landed in a chartered jet after 2 months away in Pokhara.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to streets of Kathmandu Friday, calling for restoration of monarchy. They were led by Durga Prasai, a member of K.P. Oli-led CPN-UML.
Protesters tried to dismantle police barricade on outskirts of Kathmandu and march into capital’s centre, prompting riot police to intervene and repel the crowd, witnesses said.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
