Create public opinion on national integrity, Prachanda asks media


Kathmandu, Dec. 28
Chairman of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has urged the media persons to help create public opinions on national integrity and prosperity.

"We are working for the national integrity and prosperity and you should help the government in achieving these goals," he said while addressing the national assembly of the Press Organisation and oath taking of its newly elected working committee at Baluwatar on Saturday.

He said that the success of political party depends on good political ideology and timely decision as the erstwhile CPN (UML) and UCPN-Maoists did while making the merger.

"Many forces had tried to disturb the coalition that we forged during the national election and tried to damage the party unification process but we tirelessly worked to make the things happen," he said.
Prachanda also said that the party unification had given the nation a stable government which was working to make the country developed and the people prosperous.

The former Prime Minister said that pro-people journalists' role would be crucial in creating favourable public opinion nationally and internationally.
According to him, the party central committee had decided to conclude the party unification process within 15 days and General Assembly of the CPN will happen by mid-April 2020.

Journalists were awarded on the occasion. Nirmala Sharma received Hridaya Chandra Sing Pradhan Journalism Award, and Pramod Dahal received Agni Shikha Journalism Prize.
Likewise, Active Youth Journalism award was given to Raju Adhikari of Jhapa, Basanta Pratap Singh of Bajhang and Subhadra Pyakurel of Sunsari district.

Similarly, Dekendra Thapa Memorial Journalism Award was jointly given to Meena Budhathoki of Salyan, Sushil Aryal of Gorkha and Dipak Rijal of Dhading district.
 Padma Laxmi Sabitri Journalism Award was given to Daman Rai of Kkhotang, Unique Bifa Ghishing of Ramechhap and Rabin Bohara of Baglung.
