Nepal: Religious clashes are breaking out in Nepal, a country bordering India. Due to this, the Indian government has closed the border between the two countries to prevent the conflict from affecting India. The government took this decision in advance due to security reasons. Protests are becoming alarming in Birgunj town of Parsa district, Nepal. Recently, two Muslims named Haider Ansari and Amanat Ansari from Kamala Municipality, Dhanusha district, Nepal, released a provocative video on social media, insulting a religion.
After this video went viral, people belonging to that religion started protesting. This led to protests in Dhanusha and Parsa districts. The locals caught the two and handed them over to the police. At the same time, some people destroyed a mosque in Kamala area. This led to clashes between the two groups. In this process, some people also attacked the police station and threw stones. The police used tear gas to quell these attacks. Hindus in Nepal are largely participating in these clashes. They are protesting for strict action against those who make comments that insult their gods. Currently, protests are mostly taking place in Birganj area of Parsa district.
Due to this, the authorities imposed a curfew there. This area is close to Raxaul district of Bihar. Therefore, the authorities have taken precautionary measures so that the impact there does not affect us. The Nepal-India border has been completely closed and movement has been banned. Emergency services have also been stopped. Security has been tightened further. On the other hand, in the wake of the clashes, more and more Indians living there are returning to India.
