Kathmandu, Dec. 21
Prime Minister Sushila
Karki has emphasised the importance of not forgetting one’s traditions and
culture. While some harmful practices within culture need to be eliminated, it
is essential to maintain one's unique traditions and costumes, she said during
her meeting with the delegation from the Tamu Hyul Chhonj Din Gurung National
Council on Sunday.
The council members
were dressed in traditional Gurung attire, which the Prime Minister praised.
According to her secretariat, PM Karki said that it would be appropriate for
government employees to wear their traditional dress at least one day a week in
government offices.
“Some societies are
currently searching for their identity. In the name of modernity, many are
forgetting their originality. They don’t even know what their identity is. But
we Nepalis have a strong sense of identity. We have diverse, unique cultures
and traditions that must be preserved,” said PM Karki, and added, “Perhaps we
should think about making arrangements for government employees to wear such
attire one or two days a week.”
The council has also invited Prime Minister Karki to be the chief guest at the Tamu Lhosar event to be held on the 15th of Poush (December 30).
