He argued that through the promulgation of the new charter, the federal democratic republic had been institutionalized along with secularism, governance system with proportional representation, including social justice and all those achievements gained by the citizens of Nepal.
The message further reads that the Vice President is hopeful that remaining works surrounding the implementation of the Constitution would be taken forward. Pressing for the need for all to be cognizant of the Constitution and laws of the country, he underscored the need for effective measures to be adopted by the government and the stakeholders towards this end.
