Kathmandu, May 6: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has appealed to all the oppressed classes, ethnicities and communities to express their solidarity in implementing identity and the national issues.
At a programme to declare the launching of the Bagmati Province Government’s Language of Government Works Act, 2080 and the Language Day 2024 here today, PM Dahal made this appeal, calling on the oppressed classes, castes and communities to protect their rights by identifying their true representative.
Referring to the establishment of a constitutional system with federalism, republicanism, secularism, inclusion and proportionality, PM stressed that the solidarity of all should be expressed to complete the constitution.
“My party and I had waged a major struggle to establish identity and rights in the new constitution. We had played a decisive role for whatever rights were written in the constitution,” Prime Minister Dahal said, “Therefore, I heartily appeal to all the oppressed classes, castes and communities on this historic occasion to recognize their real representatives and show solidarity in the implementation of the national issue of identity and rights.”
Prime Minister Dahal expressed the belief that if sincere and continuous efforts are made, the remaining rights to be institutionalized in the constitution will gradually be established.
Stating that the constitution provides that in addition to the Nepali language, the province can decide on one or more other national languages spoken by the majority of the people in the province as the language for govern works, the Prime Minister expressed his happiness that the law passed by the Bagmati Provincial Assembly on the recommendation of the Language Commission to regulate the provincial government’s official language has been implemented.
Stating that he had decided to celebrate Nepal Sambat as a national calendar during his first term as Prime Minister, PM Dahal said it was decided to make Nepal Sambat mandatory in the official documents in his third term and clarified that the implementation of that decision is underway.
