Paula Pant highlighted the resilience of Nepali people, drawing parallels to the nation's ability to topple its government in 48 hours and adapt during natural disasters. Joe Salci noted the military's non-interference in this process as a sign of the people's will.

“So the fact that the military sat back and let citizens change the government is pretty, pretty powerful statement as to the feelings of the Nepali people.”
