Nepal PM Oli resigns

Kathmandu, Sept 9: Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday in the face of massive anti-government protests rocking the country, officials said.

Oli stepped down shortly after hundreds of demonstrators entered his office shouting anti-government slogans.

Hours before his resignation, the demonstrators set on fire the Nepalese leader’s private residence in Balkot demanding accountability for Monday’s fatalities.

At least 19 people were killed during the violent protests on Monday against the government’s ban on social media sites.

Following the protests, the government revoked the ban last night. (PTI)
