Rabindra Mishra, former senior vice-chair of Nepal's Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), has characterized the events of September 8 and 9, 2025, as one of the world's most successful "foreign-intelligence-led revolts." Mishra shared these views in a Facebook post on Sunday, as the anniversary of the incidents approaches.
foreign-intelligence-led revolts
Initially referring to the events as the "Gen-Z protest" and an "infiltration revolt," Mishra stated his perspective shifted after reviewing espionage films and reflecting on the incidents. He now alleges that unnamed international intelligence agencies exploited the frustrations and expectations of Nepali youth without their knowledge.
Mishra described the scale of the events as unprecedented, noting that within six hours, key state institutions, the executive, legislature, and judiciary, along with the head of state's residence, were set ablaze. He expressed uncertainty about whether the alleged planners achieved their subsequent objectives or are still pursuing them.
I do not know of such an incident happening anywhere in the world
He further suggested that if details about the planners and execution were revealed, they could form the basis of a Hollywood espionage film. Mishra drew parallels to covert operations globally where local populations are unknowingly used as pawns. He concluded by emphasizing the need for Nepal to thoroughly investigate these events to protect its long-term national interests and ensure regional peace and stability.
That is what happened in Nepal
