President
Ramchandra Paudel and Vice President Ramsahay Prasad Yadav have extended their best
wishes to all Nepali people on the occasion of National Democracy Day 2080 by
issuing separate statements on Monday.
"Paying
tribute to all the known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their precious
lives in various struggles for the establishment of democracy, I express my
respect and reverence to the elders who led the movement for the establishment
of democracy in the country," President Paudel said in his message.
I
wish that Democracy Day will help in achieving the national goals of
sustainable peace, good governance, development and prosperity while showing
respect to all those who have contributed to the various movements for Nepal's
sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interest, self-respect and
democracy, he added.
Nepal
celebrates Democracy Day on Falgun 7 of Nepali calendar every year as a way of
remembering and honouring the historical achievement made in human rights and
political freedom as a result of the successful revolution of 2007 BS (February
19, 1951) and the sacrificial struggle against the autocracy.
President
also said that this day is marked as a proud and unforgettable day in the
history of Nepal because the belief that the sovereignty of the country should
be vested in people was established on this day through the struggle and
sacrifice of martyrs. "We must not forget that the revolution of 2007 BS was
an important foundation for the establishment of the federal democratic
republic achieved through long struggle and sacrifice and the creation of the
current constitution made by the people themselves," said President
Poudel.
He
also added that the Federal Democratic Republic is an important achievement made
by us Nepalis after a long struggle of more than seven decades. Democracy
further strengthens the overall national unity including social justice,
equality, social harmony and prosperity.
The
President said in the message that the democracy has established the belief
that the people are the entire source of state power. The Constitution of Nepal
aims to build a socialist-oriented economy based on justice and equality by
adopting a federal democratic republican system.
"I
believe that this day will inspire all people's representative organisations,
political parties and all parts of the state to move forward in the direction
of meeting people's expectations by adopting democratic values and norms,"
he said.
Likewise,
Vice President Yadav said that Loktantra is the best governance system in the
world.
