Nepal's current crisis
On Thursday evening, Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Hao Yang Chhi had a very important meeting with Communist Party Chairman Pushp Kamal Dahal Prachanda in the capital Kathmandu.
Earlier, the Chinese Ambassador had met other senior leaders of the party including Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, and Madhav Kumar Nepal, amid deep differences within the ruling Communist Party.
Most members of the ruling party's standing committees expressed dissatisfaction with the strained relations with India following the controversy over the Prime Minister's way of dealing with the Covid-19 epidemic and the script. On these issues, members demanded the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, after which the crisis within the party deepened.
Oli refused to resign, but after this, a round of informal conversation between Oli and Prachanda began. However, no solution could be found for this political crisis.

Bishnu Rimal, Advisor to the Nepalese Prime Minister, says that "The news and comments coming in the Indian media against the Nepalese government and the Nepalese Prime Minister are objectionable. We condemn this. Such news is not in line with the basic principles of journalism."At the same time, Surya Thapa, Press Advisor of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that "Prime Minister Oli is aware that wrong news is being shown against him in some Indian channels".
