Actress and Parliamentary Candidate Nisha Adhikari Slams Character Assassination and Abuse on Social Media

Kathmandu. Actress and House of Representatives candidate Nisha Adhikari has strongly expressed her outrage over the character assassination and abuse being directed at her on social media. Following the filing of her candidacy, she issued a stern warning against the personal attacks, stating, "Do not go too far; do not commit atrocities."

Nisha made a post on her Facebook social media, publicly naming those who were abusing and insulting her.

She stated, "This time I have not hidden the names. Because sometimes hatred spreads not anonymously, but openly normalized." Nisha complained that when women try to take leadership roles, society attacks their private lives and character more than their capabilities. She portrayed this as a shared pain for many women in public life, not just herself.

She questioned, "When a woman seeks leadership, why is her private life scrutinized before her policies? Why is her character questioned instead of her competence?"

Stating that she will not be distracted by such words, she continued, "What kind of political culture are we building? One that disagrees but preserves respect? Or one that turns disagreement into insult?" Nisha noted that the language used on social media measures the standard of democracy. She also clarified that this post was not made to solicit votes.
