The Nepali Congress and its sister organisations are observing Monday as national reconciliation day, to remember the return of late BP Koirala from India calling for unity to preserve national sovereignty.
The party and its sister organisations will organise various activities to mark the day. Nepal Women Association will host a tea reception at Shanti Batika, Ratna Park later today. Similarly, the Nepal Student Union has organised an interaction programme on importance of national reconciliation at this critical period.
In a message given today, NC acting president Sushil Koirala urged all to 'inculcate the spirit of national reconciliation' necessary for peace and stability. He said strengthening of democracy is possible only through reconciliation and unity among the democratic and nationalist forces.
In 2033 BS, BP Koirala returned to Nepal despite being warned of capital punishment saying reconciliation of all sides was necessary to save the nation from being destabilised and that effort for this task was practical only from within the country. Since then, NC has been celebrating the day as 'national reconciliation day'. nepalnews.com ia Dec 31 07
