Chairman of Dahal-Nepal faction of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) and former prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed worry over the risk of losing achievements made so far.
Chairman Dahal said the risk of losing federal democratic republic, constitution and inclusion was being visible.
He said it during a programme organised to release a book 'Jeevangatha' showcasing the trial and tribulations of the families living with injury, and who lost and got disappeared family members during the armed insurgency.
"When I become the first prime minister of the federal democratic republic, the first decision of the Cabinet was the announcement of martyrs to all those who lost lives in the armed insurgency and subsequent movements," he reminded, adding it was not however materialised. The achievements made so far are the results of the martyrs' sacrifice, Dahal argued.
Chairman Dahal urged everyone not to belittle the integration of the then Maoist fighters in the Nepal army and constitution writing following the peace process. He assured that the party would duly recognise the role of Tharu people who involved in people's war, people's movement and country building.
On the occasion, Mayor at Bardiya Municipality Durga Bahadur Tharu, however, blamed that the State did not recognise the people from Bardiya district who became martyrs in the people's war.
Bardiya district recorded the highest number of people made disappeared during the people's war waged from 2052 BS to 2062 BS.
The book was published by Barbardiya Municipality. The book is edited by rights defenders and writer Sushil Chaudhary, Prabhuram Tharu and Man Bahadur Chaudhary. The book has captured the life story of 580 people including martyrs, those made disappeared and injured in the insurgency.
