Subarna Shumsher’s loyalty to democracy never diminished, PM Deuba says



Kathmandu, Nov 30 (RSS) – Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has praised the founding leader of Nepali Congress (NC) Subarna Shumsher Rana for his great sacrifice, dedication and contribution to the country’s democratic movement.

Releasing a book “Rajneta Subarna Shumsher” published by Subarna Shumsher Study Foundation and written by Ram Chandra Ghimire here Tuesday, the Prime Minister said that Rana’s loyalty to democracy never diminished. “He was a decent person with reticent manner but listening

others’ ideas more. First time I met Subarnaji in Kolkata. He also helped in the establishment of Nepal Student’s Union. He was a democratic socialist leader who spent all his wealth for the cause of democracy,” PM Deuba recalled his memories.

Regarding the concerns on party’s upcoming national convention and leadership issues, Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Deuba asked the youth leadership not to hurry in taking the party leadership but to end infighting in the party.

Party’s assistant general secretary Prakash Sharan Mahat said that the NC rank and file should deliver the message from the practice itself that the NC cadres were not in politics for gain but to share.

Also speaking at the event, NC spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma suggested that the opposition party should be tolerant to address the issues of changes in politics and institutionalize the agendas of transformation and social transformation.

He also said that the party president and the leaders of first generation should support to transform the party as per the people’s expectations.

Likewise, party central committee member Ramesh Lekhak said that the book is worthy of collection since it has compiled historical, multidimensional and inspirational issues on Subarna Shumsher.
