Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has extended best wishes on the occasion of the 75th National Democracy Day.
Prime Minister Oli extended best wishes to all democracy-loving Nepali people on this glorious and historic day. "Falgun 7 is the most epochal day in the lives of Nepalis, the day when we have elevated ourselves to the status of the citizen through sacrificial struggle. I would like to extend best wishes to all the Nepali people on this historic day," said PM Oli.
In an address to the nation, Oli paid tributes to the nation's martyrs -- Shukraraj Shastri, Dasharath Chand, Dharma Bhakta Mathema, and Ganga Lal Shrestha, who sacrificed their precious lives in the battle against the tyranny of the Rana oligarchy -- and underscored the day's importance as it marked the end of the Rana era.
He emphasized the progress made in infrastructure, social security, and freedom of expression since the advent of democracy.
Oli acknowledged remaining challenges, including inequality and corruption, and reiterated the government's commitment to achieving "Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali" through comprehensive democracy, focusing on equal opportunities and social justice.
He also stressed the importance of youth empowerment and the nation's goal of graduating from Least Developed Country status by 2026. The Prime Minister called for unity and contribution from all citizens to realize national aspirations.
