PM Deuba urges all parties to participate in elections

LALITPUR: Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba today urged all political parties to participate in the elections to the House of Representatives and State Assemblies.

Inaugurating a cultural rally organised by Nepal Sambat 1138 Organising Committee in the district today, the Prime Minister said that the constitution would be fully implementation after both elections.

Deuba further said that Nepal Sambat should be celebrated by all people, not only the Newar Community, as the state has already given recognition to Nepal Sambat as National Sambat.

Similarly, Committee Chairperson Subarnaman Amatya stressed the need of celebrating Nepal Sambat as a national festival.

On the occasion, PM Deuba also garlanded the statue of Shankhadhar Sakhwa, god of Newar Community.
