CPN-UML leader Mahesh Basnet has cautioned that arresting former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and ex-Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak could trigger widespread unrest in Nepal.
Basnet referred to warnings from Gen Z activist Sudan Gurung about nationwide protests if such arrests occur, suggesting that the situation could quickly become uncontrollable.
He also criticized recent government actions, indicating that attempts to suppress political leaders risk alienating public sentiment.
Basnet stressed that the nation is guided by the will of the people rather than the designs of a few, urging authorities to act cautiously to avoid escalating tensions amid ongoing political activism.
