जनकपुरधाम । मधेश प्रदेश सरकारले आज ‘जनयुद्ध दिवस’ मनाएको छ । मधेश भवनमा आयोजित ‘जनयुद्ध दिवस’मा उपराष्ट्रपति नन्दबहादुर पुन सहभागी भएका थिए ।
मधेशको गृह तथा सञ्चार मन्त्रालय अन्तर्गतको शहीद प्रतिष्ठानले आयोजना गरेको कार्यक्रममा उपराष्ट्रपति पुनले सार्वजनिक बिदाले गणतन्त्र प्राप्तिका लागि बगेको रगत र पसिनाको सम्मान भएको दावी गरेका छन् ।
उनले भने, ‘यसअघि नै केहि प्रदेश सरकारले गत वर्ष पनि जनयुद्ध दिवसमा बिदा दिएको थियो । यो पटक संघीय सरकारले पनि विदा दिएपछि गणतन्त्र प्राप्तिका लागि बगेको रगत र पसिनाको सम्मान भएको छ ।’
जनयुद्ध दिवसको अवसरमा बिदा दिएकोमा विरोधसमेत भइरहेको विषयमा उनले सार्वजनिक बिदाको पूर्वाग्रह राख्नेहरु विरोध गरिरहेको तर्क गरे । उनले शान्ति प्रक्रियाका बाँकी काम वर्तमान सरकारले पूरा गर्नुपर्ने पनि बताए ।
उक्त समारोहमा मुख्यमन्त्री सरोजकुमार यादवले मधेसी जनता रहेसम्म प्राप्त संघीयतासहितका उपलब्धी कसैले हटाउन नसक्ने दाबी गरे । संघीयता कसैले भिखमा नदिएको भन्दै उनले संघीयता हटाउने सपना नदेख्न ध्यानाकर्षण पनि गराए ।
उनले संघीयतालाई संस्थागत गर्न प्रदेश प्रहरी र निजामती कर्मचारी ऐनलाई कार्यान्वयणमा ल्याउन वर्तमान सरकारसँग आग्रह समेत गरे । मधेश प्रदेश सरकारले गत वर्ष पनि जनयुद्ध दिवसमा सार्वजनिक बिदा दिएको थियो ।
Janakpurdham. Madhesh state government has celebrated ‘People’s War Day’ today. Vice President Nanda Bahadur again participated in the ‘People’s War Day’ held at Madhesh Bhawan.
In a program organized by the Shaheed Foundation under the Ministry of Home Affairs and Communications of Madhesh, Vice President Pun has claimed that the public holiday is a tribute to the blood and sweat shed for the achievement of the Republic.
He said, “Previously, some state governments had given a holiday on the People’s War Day last year as well.” This time, the blood and sweat shed for the achievement of the republic has been honored after the federal government has also given leave.
He argued that people who have a prejudice against public holidays are protesting against the granting of holidays on the occasion of People’s War Day. He also said that the remaining work of the peace process should be completed by the current government.
At the ceremony, Chief Minister Saroj Kumar Yadav claimed that no one can remove the achievements of federalism as long as the Madhesi people remain. He also drew attention not to dream of abolishing federalism saying that no one has begged for federalism.
He also urged the current government to implement the Provincial Police and Civil Servants Act to institutionalize federalism. The government of Madhesh state had given a public holiday on Jan Yudho Day last year as well.
