Loktantra Day observed across nation (with file photos)
Loktantra Day was observed across the nation on Friday by organising various programmes.The Movement of 2062/063 BS (2006 AD) became successful after 19 days of protests across the nation with the restoration of Parliament that was rendered ineffective by then King Gyanendra Shah. The movement is taken as the turning point in the country's political scenario as it brought the former rebel Maoists party to the peaceful politics.
On the foundation of the same movement, the Seven Party Alliance and the Maoists signed the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) to end the decade-long armed insurgency in the country and drafted the Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2063 BS and declared the Federal Democratic Republic in the country.
However, the ongoing political instability in the country despite massive sacrifice for the success of the second People’s Movement has disappointed many as people’s dreams for change are not realised.
Now, it has become the main challenge to take the obstructed constitution writing to a conclusion.
Chairman of the Historic People's Movement 2062/63 BS Martyr Family and Injured Concern Committee, Meghraj Acharya, remarked that although people contributed a lot to make the people's movement a success, their contributions were not respected.
He said failure to promulgate the new constitution in the country for long and neglecting the contributions of the people have hurt the feelings of those injured in during movement and family members of the martyrs.
Likewise, student leader Rajan Prasad Khatiwada said that the state should not forget the families of martyrs and injured as well as their contributions.
