The ruling CPN (Maoist Centre) and the main opposition party, CPN-UML, have made preparations for the commemoration of the contribution made by Pushpa Lal by organizing various programs.
Similarly, the CPN (Unified Socialist) is organizing a separate program at Pushpa Lal Memorial Park to commemorate the day.
Likewise, other communist parties are observing the 45th Pushpa Lal Memorial Day. Born in 1981 BS at Bhangeri of Ramechhap district, Pushpa Lal had set a goal of building a prosperous nation and fulfilling the task of real liberation of the Nepali people while establishing the Communist Party of Nepal.
Pushpa Lal is known for uniting the Communist and Democratic forces for fighting against the autocratic Panchayat system. Vice-Chairperson of CPN (Maoist Centre), Pampha Bhusal, said although the need for a unified communist party was realized with a goal of fulfilling the dreams of top communist leaders and cadres including Pushpa Lal, it has not been materialized yet. She further said the goal of socialism could not be achieved unless a strong communist party was formed.
Four left parties--CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal and Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal have formed a socialist front with the aim of party unification and implementing the socialist program.
