Minister for Communications and Information Technology Rekha Sharma said that the government has decided to celebrate the People’s War Day by honoring the sacrifices of people.

Saying that the foundation of the current system is the people’s war, Minister Sharma, who is also the government spokesperson, while making the Cabinet decisions public on Wednesday, said that the government has decided to celebrate the People’s War Day by honoring the sacrifices of people.

The minister was of the opinion that the people’s war, which was fought with the immense support of the people, should not be commented lightly.

She said that the federal democratic republic system would not have been possible had the people’s movement not concluded on the foundation of the people's war.

Making it clear that the people’s war is not the issue of any particular party or person, she ruled out the possibility of withdrawing the decision made by the government.

Earlier on Tuesday, CPN-UML Chairman while speaking at the Parliament meeting had demanded to cut the public holiday of People’s War Day.
