The 76th anniversary of the Communist Party of Nepal is being observed, organizing various programs in the country today.

It was Baisakh 9, 2006BS the Communist Party of Nepal was instituted at Shyam Bazaar of Calcutta, India. It was formed under the leadership of Pushpa Lal Shrestha. 

The founding leaders of the party were Nar Bahadur Karmacharya, Niranjan Govinda Vaidya, Narayan Bilash Joshi and Moti Devi Shrestha.  Moti Devi was, however, absent during the party announcement. 

Nepal had got a Communist Party  after 102 years of the issuance of communist manifesto and 32 years of the October Revolution.

The aim of the Communist Party established underground was to challenge the tyrannical Rana system and liberate Nepalis from suppression and exploitation. 

There are several communist parties and groups including the CPN-UML, the CPN (Maoist Center), the CPN (Unified Socialist), the Rastriya Janamorcha, the CPN (ML). 

The voices for the unification of Communist Parties  are heard intermittently in Nepal, but concrete realization is elusive. The recent glaring example was the unification of UML and Maoist Center, thereby announcing the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) in 2075BS, which faced debacle soon.

However, the Communist Parties are observing the establishment day organizing various programs. The CPN-UML is holding a special program at Nepal Academy this noon.

Seven persons who contributed to Nepal's communist movement and expansion will be honoured on the occasion. A book 'Shelter' will be released at the event. 

Even the Maoist Center and Unified Socialist are conducting the programs on this occasion.

Alphabet's Google needs strong measures imposed on it to prevent it from using its artificial intelligence products to extend its dominance in online search, a U.S. Department of Justice attorney said as a trial in the historic antitrust case began on Monday, Reuters reported.

The outcome of the case could fundamentally reshape the internet by unseating Google as the go-to portal for information online.

The Justice Department is seeking an order that would require Google to sell its Chrome browser and take other measures to end what a judge found was its monopoly in online search. Prosecutors have compared the lawsuit to past cases that resulted in the break up of AT&T and Standard Oil, according to Reuters.

U.S. President Donald Trump met with major retailers, including Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Target, on Monday to discuss broad-based tariffs likely to raise the cost of everyday goods that they import, Reuters reported.

Big U.S. chains, like Walmart and Target, rely heavily on imported goods, and tariffs — including 145% levies on China — are expected to add strain on Americans already burdened by prolonged inflation.

"We had a productive meeting with President Trump and his team and appreciated the opportunity to share our insights," a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement, without elaborating. The retailer previously said its CEO, Doug McMillon, would be in attendance.

This marks McMillon's first meeting with Trump since the introduction of the president's "Liberation Day" tariffs. Earlier in April, McMillon said the two had not personally discussed tariffs, although other members of Walmart's leadership had been in regular contact with his administration, according to Reuters.

US stocks and the dollar plunged again as President Donald Trump intensified his attacks on the US central bank boss calling him "a major loser" for not lowering interest rates, BBC reported.

In a social media post, Trump called on Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates "pre-emptively" to help boost the economy, saying Powell had been consistently too slow to respond to economic developments. 

"There can be a SLOWING of the economy unless Mr. Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates, NOW," he wrote.

Trump's criticism of Powell's handling of the US economy comes as his own plans for tariffs have driven a stock market sell-off and raised fears of economic recession, according to BBC.
