Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has opined that everyone should have a deep sense of gratitude and dedication towards mothers as they are the direct manifestation of mother Earth.

In his message of best wishes shared through a social site today on the occasion of the Matatirtha Aunshi festival, the Prime Minister wished for deepening the feeling of dedication and gratitude towards all mothers.

PM Oli has expressed heartfelt respect and tributes to all mothers on the day of Matatirtha Aunsi, a special day dedicated to paying gratitude and reverence to the mother. He stated that he cannot recollect his mother's face as she passed away when he was four years old.

"My mother's face is not very clear in my memory, because I was bereft of my mother's warm embrace when I was four years old. For me, the birthplace became a mother's image," the Prime Minister wrote in his social site post.

"Today is Matatirtha Aunshi or Mother's Day and I vaguely remember my mother's face,” he added.
