BHAIRAHAWA: President Dr Ram Baran Yadav today visited Lumbini — the birth place of Lord Buddha. Dr Yadav, who was accompanied by his sister-in-law, grandchildren and a niece, reached the birthplace of Lord Buddha amid tight security. He offered pooja at the Ashok Pillar and visited Shantideep, Thai and German Lotus Temples. ‘’I prayed for peace and prosperity of the country,’’ President Yadav told reporters. He also urged all the stakeholders to move ahead forging consensus. “All Nepalis should live harmoniously,” he added. “All the political parties should also move ahead overcoming disputes.’’ The President said the achievements of the political transformation should be institutionalised. He emphasised that the anarchic activities should end in the country. Yadav had reached Lumbini by a special Nepal Army chopper. Cadres of the UCPN-Maoist demonstrated outside the temple premises and showed black flags to the president.
