KATHMANDU, JULY 10

CPN-Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal has underlined the need to foster unity and centralisation among the leftist-democratic forces.

The leader insisted on the need to take the country towards the path of scientific socialism by safeguarding the achievements for national independence secured from the support of people's war and people's movement.

Expressing best wishes message to all Nepali Muslim sisters and brothers at home and abroad on the occasion of the Bakar-Eid festival, the former prime minister expressed hope that the festival would further help promote religious tolerance, social goodwill and mutual bonding and contribute to consolidating the feeling of national unity and nation-building.

'The festival that is celebrated as the occasion for promoting social bonding and family reunion will help cultivate the feelings of social tolerance among the Nepali community and encourage all to gear up for the building of a prosperous Nepal,' he said.
