KATHMANDU: Bibeksheel Sajha Party Nepal has demanded that Prithvi Jayanti or National Unity Day should be celebrated as ‘Nepal Day’.
Issuing a press release Tuesday, the party also demanded public holiday on National Unity Day.
The press release reads, “In most of the countries of the world, national day is celebrated on a certain day of special significance which is permanent. In the case of Nepal, we do not have the fixed national day. It is our opinion that Prithvi Jayanti or National Unity Day will be the most suitable for marking as the Nepal Day.”
The party is going to begin ‘Mechi-Mahakali National Unity Tour’ from January 11 on the occasion of Prithvi Jayanti and the journey would end on Martyrs Day, January 30. It also appealed to all the Nepalis to participate in the tour.
