President Bidya Devi Bhandari has expressed the confidence that the Democracy Day would provide more energy to work toward realizing the national aspiration of ‘prosperous Nepal, happy Nepalis’. In a message today on the occasion of National Democracy Day, President Bhandari said the people look forward to socio-economic transformation of the country and the day today could inspire us all to address the people’s aspiration for the same.
Stating that democracy should be adopted as a lifestyle to achieve the national goal of lasting peace, good governance and prosperity, she has wished that the democracy day motivates all to move ahead by internalizing the fundamental norms and values of democracy. “It is a very big achievement of democracy that the Constitution envisages building of a socialism-oriented economy based on justice and equality, along with the adoption of a federal democratic republic system of governance,” the President has said.
It may be noted that Falgun 7 in the lunar calendar is observed every year as the national democracy day in commemoration of the historical day when a popular uprising against feudalism and autocracy led to establishment of human rights and political freedom in the country.
