Dahal stresses national unity and harmony

KATHMANDU, Dec 30: CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal has stressed the need for mutual tolerance and solidarity among the entire oppressed communities for protecting the federal democratic republic, “an epochal achievement” yielded through the people's struggle.

“It is possible to attain the socialist goal enshrined in the Constitution and unleash a new thought from Nepali territory on the backing of improved national unity among the people of Nepal,” he said.

Chairperson Dahal extended his best wishes to all Nepali sisters and brothers at home and abroad for good health, longevity, peace, happiness and progress on the occasion of Tamu Lhosar.

"The diversity of Nepali society is a message of social harmony to the rest of the world. Languages, cultures, customs and traditions are the founding pillars of civilization so it is the responsibility of the state to protect, promote and propel these treasures," reads a statement issued by Dahal.

The former prime minister expressed his confidence that the euphoric festival would hold its indigenous, traditional and cultural importance. He extended his best wishes that the festival would continually enliven the sense of tolerance and harmony among the Nepali people, including Tamu community members.
