Captain Rameshwar Thapa's book 'Into the Fire' has been launched.
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli launched the book during a program organized at the conference hall of Swoyambhu-based Armed Police Force.
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and Om Adi Bal Guru among others were present in the book launching ceremony.
The book “Into the Fire” is based on the experiences of Capitan Thapa, the first instructor of the MI-17 helicopter of Nepali Army, during the people’s war.
Kathmandu Post English Daily Editor-in-Chief Biswas Baral and journalist Vijay Kumar Pandey commented about the book.
They said that Capitan Thapa did not care about his life for the country during the war and that experience is depicted in the book.
“You have seen the war from very close. We can visualize only one side at a time. But you have seen it from all sides at once. You have endured those sufferings. You really have made a great contribution for the country,” journalist Pandey said.
Similarly, Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Deuba also said that they know Capitan Thapa closely.
Saying that they boarded the helicopter of Thapa many times, be it for the party or other works, the duo discussed the contribution of Thapa.
On the occasion, PM Oli said that no kind of violence is possible in Nepal.
Saying that he would not be afraid of the threat that Nepal would be like Sri Lank and Bangladesh, he said that any kind of violence is not possible now.
The Prime Minister accused those who raised their voices against democracy of making big talks.
He said that he has been falsely accused in various cases like Pashupati Jalhari because he has been engaged in the campaign to build the country for more than half a century.
PM Oli said that he has no greed for the post.
Prime Minister Oli, who is also the Chairman of CPN-UML, said that he would hand over the power to the Congress before the end of his tenure.
He said that the government will prevent any kind of activities that violate the rights of others in the democratic governance system.
Similarly, Congress President Deuba said that Captain Thapa played a vital role in the Nepali politics.
He said that Capitan Thapa made a great contribution not only in the people’s war but also in preventing the country from becoming politically unstable.
