MP Khusbu Oli Files Complaint Against Defamatory Online Campaign

March 30, Kathmandu – Khusbu Oli, a member of parliament from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), has lodged a complaint with Nepal Police’s Cyber Bureau alleging defamatory campaigns against her on social media. On Monday, she announced via the social media platform X that she had officially registered the complaint.

“Today, I have filed a complaint at the Central Cyber Bureau in Bhoteahiti, Nepal Police, against the orchestrated defamation, misleading information, and acts intended to tarnish my character that have been spread via social media,” MP Oli stated.

“In my complaint, I have cited certain individuals’ Facebook pages, TikTok accounts, and YouTube channels that have deliberately broadcast baseless, misleading content designed to harm both my personal and public life,” she added. She further claimed that she had initially cautioned some individuals involved, urging them to cease such activities at an early stage. “However, since the warnings were disregarded and the defamation continued unabated, I was compelled to initiate legal procedures today at the Cyber Bureau,” she explained.

MP Oli asserted that these activities exceed the bounds of normal criticism or freedom of expression. She wrote, “Rather, I believe this to be an organized attempt to spread false information and damage my personal and public image.” Emphasizing her commitment to combating cyber abuse and defamation, she said she will continue to pursue all necessary legal actions in accordance with state procedures.

“At present, hatred has been commodified—those who can sell more hatred gain greater advantage,” she remarked. “But remember, spreading hatred that harms someone’s life for personal gain is not only unethical but reflects a deeply depraved and unacceptable mindset,” she added.

Highlighting the dangers of such a mentality to society, MP Oli stressed that it must never be normalized under any circumstances.
