During the program, Chairman of the club Ramkrishna Karmacharya, social worker Dirgharaj Prasain, and Prof. Dr. Sundarkrishna Joshi, among others, discussed on the contemporary political situation and contribution of martyrs.

They were executed between Magh 10 to 15, 1997 BS, blaming them for inciting the youths against the then Rana government.
