HELLO NEPAL

It was surprising to know the government's decision to ban TikTok (TT) within the next 24 hours citing the TT users started using this social media for creating social unrest by posting and displaying dirty and vulgar messages and images.   To me, this is a blunder the ten party coalition government is knowingly doing. It will not be possible to suppress thousands of people's feelings and frustration by banning TT. It was much better for the government to listen the people's feeling and voices through this platform rather than suppressing, which might get exploded out in the streets to release their feelings and frustration sooner or later. The government may have taken other measure to control the absurd contents uploaded in the TT rather than fully ban it. Let us hope the government will realize their blunder and correct their mistakes. 😞

      I am not so sure whether this political quote fits to our political system and culture. But, it seems to me that the voters and common people of this 21st century are becoming more politically literate and have started raising their voices against their leaders and the existing political structure. Considering the level of people's frustration towards the existing political structure, they do not want to be ruled anymore by any irresponsible, corrupt and anti-nationalist leaders.  😄😉😠😞
