"Remembering BP BA on his birthday -- Nepal's first elected Prime Minister and a writer who gave voice to love, conflict, and resilience," she wrote.
Quoting her grandfather, Manisha also referred to the ongoing tensions in Nepal, "As students rise today against corruption and for freedom, his words feel timeless: 'Democracy is indivisible; if you want democracy at home, you cannot afford to neglect all struggles for it.' - BP Koirala".
Manisha Koirala was born into a politically influential family in Biratnagar, Nepal. She has been voicing her thoughts on the violent protests in her native country. Taking to her Instagram, she condemned the events, calling it a "black day" for the country.
There has been an escalating unrest in Nepal following Prime Minister KP Oli's resignation amid violent protests that entered their second day across the country.
The resignation comes amid unprecedented protests led by Gen Z youths, who have been demanding accountability over corruption, government restrictions, and alleged police misconduct. Over the past two days, these demonstrations have escalated sharply, resulting in at least 19 deaths and more than 500 injuries in clashes around the Federal Parliament and other parts of Kathmandu.
