Kathmandu, May 11
When Nepali politicians and leaders were preparing for a grand welcome for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his two-day state visit to Nepal, social media was flooded with enraged comments from common Nepalis.
The general public took to Twitter to remind India and Modi about the wounds the 2015 blockade caused to all Nepalis. Various hashtags ‘NotMyGuest’,’ModiNotWelcomeInNepal’, among others can be seen on Twitter.
Criticising the visit, a hashtag has been trending on Twitter (#BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi) for the past two days.
Even the former European Ambassador to Nepal, Rensje Teerink, tweeted with the hashtag #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi. She garnered a lot of appreciation from the social media users. Teerink, however, deleted it later.
Looks like the Twitterati are in no mood to welcome Modi after the unofficial blockade in 2015. Here are a few tweets that summed up the mood:

No f***ing international media dared to admit 2015 fuel crisis in Nepal as the Indian Forced Blockade. Hypocrites!
Blockade right after the devastating earthquake is no way a political sanction, it’s a deadly crime. #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi pic.twitter.com/G4mpU8Df2P— Rajan Kathet (@rajankathet) May 10, 2018

#BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi . We might forget your beautiful speech that made us smile for a day or two but we won’t forget the pain and suffering that you gave us by blockade. You are welcome here but you won’t get the same respect that we all had before. Wish you a happy journey.

What is worse than blockade (unofficial & unverified) ? Nepali people taking advantage of situation to black market, cause inflation, create artificial shortage and government doing nothing but giving “guff”. you remember blockade but forgot major detail #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi

#BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi is trending now. But do folks remember that Modi had ‘apologised’ for Indian blockade against Nepal and performed ‘KshamaPooja’ rituals in repentance? ?https://t.co/O2dQTTUIiO

If #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi, it was a damn NECESSARY CRIME, in order to stop a BIGGER CRIME of killing one’s own citizens, which this shameless state of #Nepal would have continued if #India had not intervened timely.

Will mainstream Nepali media dare to ask Modi abt the blockade he imposed n the frequent encroachment by India upon our land?? Can they make him reply in an apologetic tone?? If the answer is NO, stop whining about ‘rapprochement in relationship’ n stuffs. #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi

Trending of #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi today reflects that the scars of blockade are still fresh in the hearts and minds. And perhaps it will take long time for India to regain that goodwill from Nepali public !

Must be tough for local media to not report on #BlockadeWasCrimeMrModi. As it is, tomorrow’s newspapers will be filled with ‘Welcome to Nepal’ advertisements. Wag the dog!
