Kathmandu, April 6: Various programmes were organised here Wednesday to mark the 37th anniversary of the World Hindu Federation.
International and national committees of the Federation organised separate programmes on the occasion.
Two national committees of the Federation are now active. Former Minister Ram Chandra Adhikari leads one committee while Nil Prasad Bhandari is leading the second committee.
At a programme organised by Adhikari-led Committee, Minister for Forest and Soil Conservation Shankar Bhandari stressed that the decision taken by the interim Legislature-Parliament on the issue of religion should be corrected as it has some weaknesses.
The Interim Legislature-Parliament on May 18, 2006 after the people’s movement 2062/2063 BS had declared Nepal as secular nation. The Hindu organisations have been demanding correction to this decision.
Minister Bhandari said that the decision of declaring Nepal as secular nation was brought all of sudden as secularism was not the issue of people’s movement, so it should be corrected.
Similarly, at a programme organised by international committee at Bansbari, former ministers—Dr Prakash Chandra Lohani and Keshar Bahadur Bista said that their newly formed party would take up the issue of Hindu nation and monarchy.
Dr Chintamani Yogi, Buddhist leader Phurwa Lama, Chairman of International Committee, Bharat Keshar Singh, among others also expressed their views. RSS
