The party’s spokesperson, Min Bishwakarma, confirmed on Friday that Deuba has received 12 stitches on his head. This health update was provided during a press briefing following the party’s Central Working Committee meeting.
Deuba’s condition, while not life-threatening, is causing him discomfort and has delayed his discharge from the hospital.
According to Bishwakarma, doctors have reported that Deuba is experiencing discomfort while speaking and dizziness when he stands up.
These symptoms are a direct result of the head injury he suffered during the protests. The medical team is monitoring his condition closely. They have advised that he remain under observation for a few more days.
Official Confirmation from the Party
The news of Deuba’s injury and his subsequent treatment came as a shock to many. The Nepali Congress was quick to address the situation. During the Central Working Committee meeting, Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka provided a detailed brief on Deuba’s health status. He reassured the members that the former Prime Minister is recovering. However, his full recovery will take some time.
The party has not disclosed the name of the hospital where Deuba is receiving treatment. This is to ensure his privacy and to prevent any unnecessary crowding. The focus right now is on providing him with the best possible care so he can make a full and speedy recovery.
The Wider Context of the Gen-Z Revolt
Deuba’s injury highlights the intensity and volatility of the recent Gen-Z protests. What began as demonstrations against social media restrictions and corruption escalated into a nationwide movement.
The protests saw many political leaders and their properties targeted. The youth-led uprising was a clear expression of public frustration with the country’s political elite.
The Nepali Congress has condemned the attack on its president. The party has called for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing issues. They have also emphasized the need to address the legitimate grievances of the youth.
The incident has prompted a national conversation about political violence and the need for a more stable and responsive government.
Looking Ahead
While Deuba’s health is the immediate concern, the long-term implications of this incident for the Nepali Congress are significant.
The party faces the challenge of navigating the current political climate while its leader is out of action. The situation underscores the urgent need for political leaders to connect with the younger generation and understand their demands.
Deuba’s recovery is crucial not just for his party, but for the entire political landscape of Nepal. His return to active politics will be a sign of stability returning to the nation.
