Nepal's Interim Government Leader Sushila Karki Calls Modi “Impressive” & India a Lifelong Friend

Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, Nepal’s first female head of the judiciary, is set to lead the interim government after Gen-Z protests forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign. Speaking to an India media house, Karki, 71, recalled her years at BHU in Varanasi, describing herself as a “friend of India” and praising PM Modi. Chosen by young demonstrators to head the transition, she expressed humility at their trust. Meanwhile, the Nepal Army issued curfew guidelines, permitting essential services despite ongoing unrest.
