Chief Minister of Karnali Province Mahendra Bahadur Shahi today said that cultural festivals of the country help maintain national unity, harmony, and tolerance.
In a message of greetings on the occasion 'Makar Sankranti', 'Maghe Sankranti', 'Maghi Festival' and 'National Yoga Day-2077', CM Shahi wished for prosperity, peace, and good health to all residents of Karnali Province and all Nepalis.
"Nepal rich in multi-culture, multi-ethnic, multi-religion and multi-language is a country with federal democracy, secularism, and proportional inclusiveness. Democracy has honored cultural festivals of all. I have the hope that unique characteristics and festivals of Nepal help strengthen social goodwill, integrity, common identity, and national unity," he said in the message.
He also urged people to observe the festival and the yoga day with caution amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The state government has been announcing a public holiday on the day of the 'Maghi Festival' since one year ago.
