KATHMANDU, Jan 4: Bibeksheel Sajha Party Nepal has demanded that Prithvi Jayanti or the National Unity Day should be celebrated as 'Nepal Day'. 

Issuing a press release on Tuesday, the party also demanded a public holiday on National Unity Day. "In most of the countries of the world, the national day is celebrated on a certain day of special significance which is permanent. In the case of Nepal, we do not have a fixed national day. It is our opinion that Prithvi Jayanti or National Unity Day will be the most suitable for marking Nepal Day," the press release reads.

The party is going to begin the 'Mechi-Mahakali National Unity Rally’ from January 11 on the occasion of Prithvi Jayanti and the journey would end on Martyrs Day, January 30. It also urged all Nepalis to participate in the rally.
