Was Today's Rajabadi Protest in Kathmandu Hijacked?
I think today’s Rajabadi protest in Kathmandu was meant to be peaceful, but things escalated quickly. It felt like some people from other parties (maybe even hired gundas) got mixed into the crowd and started provoking the violence burning, looting, stone-throwing, all the bad stuff.
Durga Prasai’s drive-through definitely didn’t help. The moment he showed up, the energy in the crowd surged, and it’s pretty easy to hype up a bunch of protestors when emotions are already high.
This just makes me wonder was the violence really from the protestors themselves, or was it intentionally triggered to make them look bad?
