I just hope that things stabilise. It’s very important that things stabilise in Nepal, which is a neighbouring country of India. We have open borders. It’s very important for the people of Nepal themselves. I saw today that the mayor of Kathmandu, who is possibly the most popular politician in Nepal, has made an appeal now asking the people to stay calm and not to take the law into their hands, not to damage government property. Now that Prime Minister Oli has resigned, hopefully, there’ll be movement towards some stability and calm…The Royalists had protested a few months ago quite strongly, and there were some elements of the youth who were supporting the Royalists. I think the support that you saw at that time was also because there was so much disenchantment with the existing political leadership in Nepal. So people felt that anything is better than what they have currently. Let’s see how the situation pans out
