PM Modi Congratulates Ex-Chief Justice Sushila Karki As Nepal’s Interim Prime Minister Amid Crisis
India has extended its support to Nepal’s new interim government as PM Modi congratulated Sushila Karki on assuming charge as Prime Minister. In a post on X, Modi assured that India remains firmly committed to Nepal’s peace, progress, and prosperity. Karki, a trailblazer who once jailed a minister for corruption, has made history again as the 73-year-old leader chosen by both Nepal’s president and Gen Z protestors to lead during crisis. Her appointment comes after weeks of protests that left 51 dead and forced a regime collapse. As Nepal faces its most uncertain moment in decades, India’s reaction signals both solidarity and watchful engagement.
