45th Memorial Day of Pushpa Lal being observed

KATHMANDU, July 23: The 45th Memorial Day of the founding General Secretary of Communist Party of Nepal, Pushpa Lal, is being marked across the country today by organising various programmes.

Different communist parties and their sister organisations are observing Memorial Day by organising programmes. The Communist Party of Nepal was established under the leadership of Pushpa Lal in 1949.

The ruling CPN (Maoist Centre) and the main opposition party, CPN (UML), have made preparations for the member contribution of Pushpa Lal by organising various programmes.  

Similarly, the CPN (Unified Socialist) is organising a programme at Pushpa Lal Memorial Park. Likewise, other communist parties are observing the 45th Pushpa Lal Memorial Day. 

Born in 1981 BS at Bhangeri of Ramechhap district, Pushpa Lal had set a goal of building a prosperous nation and fulfilling the task of a real liberation of the Nepali people while establishing the Communist Party of Nepal.
Pushpa Lal is known for uniting the Communist and Democratic forces for fighting against the autocratic Panchayat system. 

Vice-Chairperson of CPN (Maoist Centre), Pampha Bhusal said that although the need for a unified communist party was realized with the goal of fulfilling the dreams of top communist leaders and cadres including Pushpa Lal, it has not been materialized yet. She further said the goal of socialism can not be achieved unless a strong communist party was formed.  

Four left parties--CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal, and Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal have formed a socialist front with the aim of party unification and implementing the socialist programme.
