He mentioned that Pandey&#8217;s leadership role as a citizen leader in establishing and restoring democracy in Nepal, as well as in various struggles and movements, will always be remembered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Paudel said that it is fresh in his memory the leadership role Dr. Pandey played as a citizen leader in Nepal&#8217;s democratic movement from the 1990 movement up to the 2005\/06 movement, having resigned from his government secretary post just a few months before the 1980 referendum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think that in the nearly four and a half decades since 2036 BS, the role and contributions of his work will be remembered by future generations as those of a standard personality who contributed to nation-building from his own field and path. I believe that his dedication, conduct, and moral life will continue to enlighten Nepali society,&#8221; the President said in his condolence message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Paudel said that Pandey&#8217;s demise not only caused an irreparable loss to Nepal&#8217;s democratic movement but also meant the country lost a fearless and loyal democratic citizen leader who stood for truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Paudel\u2019s condolence message was delivered to Pandey\u2019s residence in Bishalnagar by his press advisor Kiran Pokharel and Chief Private Secretary Avagya Paudel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Pandey was suffering from cancer, and he passed away at his own residence in Bishalnagar on Friday, July 17. He was 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RSS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President stated that Pandey&#8217;s efforts were mainly focused on freedom, rights, and the civil movement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":425800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,4,2],"tags":[],"reporter":[],"class_list":["post-432917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-en-cover","category-english","category-en-news","category-top-stories-main"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432917"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432917"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":432918,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432917\/revisions\/432918"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432917"},{"taxonomy":"reporter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reporter?post=432917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
