In a show of solidarity, Koirala shared a striking image along with a message in Nepali. The translated message poignantly captures the despair of the day, it says: “Today is a black day for Nepal when bullets respond to the voice of the people, outrage against corruption and demand for justice.” The protests turned violent when security forces opened fire on demonstrators, resulting in the loss of life and many injuries.
