KATHMANDU: President Ram Chandra Paudel said respect for martyrs would be realized only when the spirit of the constitution and republic were embraced and initiatives were taken for translating aspirations for sustainable peace, good governance, development and prosperity into action.
In a message delivered on the occasion of Martyr Day, 2080, he stressed the need to honestly play remarkable roles from their sides to materialize the dream of martyrs.
