Nepal cannot afford #Pakistan’s like struggle to create enough jobs for its young population.
With foreign employment still absorbing #Nepal’s workforce, #BalenShah’s govt should answer: where are jobs?

How long can “youth power” mean youth leaving their country?

The govt that rose on back of #Nepal’s Gen Z movement moved to abolish student unions. The Supreme Court stopped the move, citing constitutional rights.

#BalenShah’s govt should explain: when did the generation that brought change become the problem?

🇳🇵 #Nepal’s anti-corruption watchdog CIAA received 40,542 corruption complaints in one year
That is not a small administrative problem. It is a warning about institutional trust
Six months into #BalenShah’s govt, where is promised crackdown producing measurable results?

Nepal depends heavily on migrant-worker remittances, yet workers still face recruitment debt, wage theft, contract violations & unsafe conditions.

The people financing #Nepal’s economy deserve stronger protection from both recruiters & the #BalenShah govt.

Around 40% of #Nepal’s population is under 18, yet the Child Grant reaches only about 9.5% of children.
Successive govts promised wider coverage but failed to deliver.
What is current #BalenShah’s govt plan?

Tensions are rising in Pakistan as Imran Khan’s sisters are reportedly arrested amid a widening crackdown on his supporters. His former adviser Zulfi Bukhari described the situation as having “gone to a different level.”

Around 4,500 consumers in #Nepal lost drinking-water supply after floods damaged all 4 major sources, including 80m of pipeline. Emergency tankers are relief—not water security. Where is #BalenShah govt’s resilience plan? @gbudhathoki

🇳🇵 #BalenShah, Home Minister Sudan Gurung, Rabi Lamichhane & Sagar Dhakal are named in a The Grayzone News report alleging links to a US-funded political programme.
Those claims deserve evidence-based answers—not detention of critics. #NepalPolitics @tikaramyatri

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

In #Nepal, 60 of 191 people tested positive for scrub typhus in one day, 7 died in a month—including a 12-year-old—and test kits were running low. This is what weak healthcare preparedness looks like. #BalenShah govt must act. @drckraut

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

Pakistani journalist Taha Siddiqui says armed men tried to abduct him—and that US authorities warned he was on a “state-sanctioned kill list.” If true, this raises grave questions about press freedom and journalist safety.

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

#BalenShah’s govt bars journalists from ministries, holds zero press conferences, & starves private media of ads.
Coordinated online mass-reporting against critics follows.
#Nepal Gen Z “revolution” now runs a quiet blackout on the press. Classic authoritarian drift. @ourjaya

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

Infrastructure Minister Sunil Lamsal was caught on video telling officials to “break the legs” of a delayed contractor.
This is the leadership #BalenShah has entrusted with a key ministry: threats instead of governance. #Nepal deserves better than ministers like this.

NDRRMA admits the authority has just 1 geologist, one hydrologist & 1 meteorologist while 150+ local requests pile up. Reconstruction after #NepalFloods needs $4.77 billion. #BalenShah’s govt still runs a paper tiger disaster body. @mama_shr33

NDRRMA Chief Upreti on what Nepal must change after the Bhotekoshi disaster

A month after the Bhotekoshi flood, Nepal’s disaster authorities are assessing the damage, planning reconstruction and considering the relocation of settlements in high-risk areas.

🇳🇵 #Nepal’s farmers are getting squeezed while middlemen multiply.
Up to 7 layers can sit between farm and consumer, with farmgate prices rising just 2.04%—an 8-year low. #BalenShah’s govt needs to break this dysfunctional chain before farmers abandon the sector. @sudheerktm

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

A govt that rose on social media & tolerated toxic trolling now watches the same culture turn vicious.
#BalenShah’s administration still lacks a clear plan to curb coordinated online abuse against critics & citizens

Reports that Imran Khan’s three sisters are on hunger strike, with Dr. Uzma Khan’s health deteriorating in detention, demand urgent scrutiny. Whatever the politics, detainees deserve medical care, family access and due process. Pakistan’s rule of law must protect them.

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

FREE IMRAN KHAN 🇵🇰

Justice, due process and the rule of law must prevail. Political differences should never become a reason to silence political voices.

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

Branding women as “witches,” stripping & torturing them, or forcing them to consume excreta is a grave #HumanRights abuse.

#Nepal’s govt must answer: why are such atrocities still happening, and where is the accountability? @MohnaAnsari

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

For #Nepal PM, the question is simple: why are Gen Z victims’ families still demanding justice 6 months later?

Rachana Khatiwada says she would resign once justice is delivered. #BalenShah govt should not leave grieving families begging for accountability.

[Saba Qureshi @sabaqureshi457]

🇳🇵 #Nepal’s new portal puts lawmakers’ attendance under public scrutiny. But what about the PM?

#BalenShah has faced repeated criticism for staying away from Parliament, even after the Speaker directed him to answer lawmakers.
Who holds the govt accountable? @AnupKaphle
