Nepali Congress President Thapa Highlights Holi's Role in Unity Amidst Electoral Context

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa stated that Fagu Purnima (Holi), celebrated as the festival of colors, not only highlights the ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity of our society but also conveys a message of national unity.

Extending best wishes to everyone on the occasion of Holi, he mentioned that among the various cultural and historical festivals celebrated in Nepali society, Fagu Purnima is a distinct festival of mutual love and unity.

The diversity of Nepal's geography, ethnicities, languages, religions, festivals, arts, cultures, traditions, and customs is Nepal's beautiful and distinct identity. This festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm by applying colors to each other and sharing joy, on Fagun 18 in the Himalayan and hilly regions of Nepal, and on Fagun 19 in the Terai region.

President Thapa noted that just like the various colors, our society is also diverse, and this unity amidst diversity is the distinct identity of Nepalis. He stated that this festival, which conveys the message of the victory of truth over falsehood and justice over injustice, will inspire everyone to further strengthen familial affection, mutual harmony, tolerance, and social goodwill.

“This time, along with Fagu Purnima, we are on the verge of an important festival of democratic practice: the House of Representatives election. I have faith that the election will be successful, peaceful, and dignified. I appeal to all Nepalis to participate enthusiastically in the election on Fagun 21 and cast their votes to institutionalize democracy and build a prosperous nation,” President Thapa mentioned.

He extended his best wishes that Fagu Purnima (Holi), which arrives with the message of mutual harmony and goodwill with the advent of the spring season, may create an environment of happiness, peace, and prosperity in everyone's home and family, inspiring everyone to enhance mutual unity and social harmony.
