KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli released his contemporary professor KR Khambu's memoir 'Chaya Ko Laskar' amid a special ceremony at the Prime Minister's residence in Baluwatar on Thursday.

After releasing the book, PM Oli shared his past memories with the author during the Jhapa revolution and their political movement in the Panchayat era.

Prime Minister, who is also the Co-chair of Nepal Communist Party (NCP), said that he had two dreams of seeing the author achieving a PhD degree and utilising his knowledge for the development of the nation. Unfortunately, after completing his PhD degree, KR Khambu lost vision of his both eyes, Oli said.

"During those days, I urged him to pursue higher studies and not to indulge in active politics." Praising the author, PM Oli said, KR Khambu was a very loyal, dedicated and patriotic cadre of our party.

Despite losing eyesight, his noble work, knowledge and wisdom are inspirational for generations to follow, PM Oli added.

He also shared those memories with the author during their times in Biratnagar and Jhapa. The book unfolds many political events, the left-movement, and Jhapa revolution.

"I am extremely happy that my memoir is unveiled by PM Oli," said Professor Khambu and thanked the publication house Nepalaya for publishing the book. After retiring from an active political career, the author is currently associated with Mechi Campus in Jhapa district.

The book is priced at Rs 545, according to Nepalaya.
