NC President Deuba calls for strengthening federal republic system

Mahendranagar (Dhanusha), Nov 25: Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba attributed the changes in the country to the sacrifices of the martyrs and those enduring harsh torture in prison.

Unveiling the half-bust-sized statue of NC leader and former member of the National Assembly Arvind Thakur at Lohana at Janakpurdham Sub-Metropolitan City-25 in Dhanusha on Monday, Deuba reminisced about the significant contributions of late Thaukur to democratic struggles.

Deuba, also a former prime minister, said that the country achieved the federal republican democracy governance system because of freedom fighters like the late Thakur, who had spent 16 years in imprisonment on the charge of planting a bomb targeting then King Mahendra during the armed movement of the Nepali Congress, which overthrew the democratic government.

Stating that it was everyone’s duty to empower citizens and for this to happen, he emphasized further strengthening the federal republic system. He also pointed out the need for everyone to follow the path shown by those who attained martyrdom while fighting for democracy.

Similarly, NC’s former Vice President Bimalendra Nidhi underscored the need to further strengthen the federal democratic system to materialize the dreams of the late Thakur. Likewise, NC’s Deputy General Secretary Mahendra Yadav claimed that the Nepali Congress had contributed to the construction of mega projects and defended the rights of citizens.

In the program presided over by NC Dhanusha chapter President Yogendra Panjiyar, various leaders and people’s representatives, including former constituent assembly member Rashmi Thakur, daughter of late Thakur, made speeches.

The newly unveiled statue of late Thakur was constructed at the cost of Rs 2.5 million. On the occasion, leader Deuba honored the spouse of late Thakur with a shawl. —RSS
