Pokhara, 18 February | The Nepali Congress is organizing a significant pledge assembly in Janakpur today to publicize its party pledge letter. This event, arranged by the Madhesh Province Committee of the Nepali Congress, will take place in Janakpur Dham, where the official pledge document will be unveiled before the public and party workers. The choice of Janakpur, a sacred, historical, and cultural city of Madhesh, for this important program highlights the party’s deep connection with the region and its people. Central leaders including party President Gagan Kumar Thapa and Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma along with other senior central figures are scheduled to address the gathering, providing insights into the party’s commitments and future plans.
Party officials have anticipated a large scale participation with more than one lakh voters from all election constituencies of Madhesh Province expected to attend the pledge sabha. This massive turnout is seen as a testament to the strong support base of the Nepali Congress in the Madhesh region. The party has emphasized that this pledge sabha is not merely a political event but an historic occasion to convey important messages regarding Madhesh’s self respect, inclusive democracy and national unity. By holding the program in the pious land of Madhesh, the Congress aims to honor the region’s contributions to democracy and strengthen bonds of national integration.
Leaders of the Nepali Congress have often stated that the soil of Madhesh has continuously raised firm voices for democracy, inclusivity and federal democratic republic. This legacy is being carried forward through the current initiatives of the party. Madhesh Province President Krishna Prasad Yadav has highlighted that after the Madhesh movement, the Nepali Congress has embraced the issues of identity, rights, proportional inclusivity and empowerment of Madhesh people as its main agenda. Yadav noted in his statement that President Gagan Kumar Thapa contesting from Sarlahi area 4 is a direct link with Madhesh people, sending a strong message of reinforcing relations between Madhesh and national politics beyond just electoral tactics.
The pledge letter to be released today includes clear work plans for the prosperity of Madhesh. These encompass modernization of agriculture, expansion of industries and trade, planned development of border areas, employment generation for youth, women empowerment and assurance of social justice. The party is committed to advancing with these focused strategies to address the aspirations of Madhesh citizens. Additionally, information about the pledge letter publicized from Janakpur will also be shared through a press conference in Kathmandu this afternoon at 4 PM. Congress spokesperson Devraj Chalise will brief the media at the central office in Sanepa regarding the details of the document.
This comprehensive approach of launching the pledge in the heart of Madhesh and disseminating information nationally demonstrates the Nepali Congress’s dedication to both regional development and overall national harmony. The event in Janakpur is expected to serve as a platform for reinforcing the party’s role as a proponent of inclusive politics and social justice. With active involvement from top leadership and widespread public participation, the pledge assembly is set to become a memorable milestone in the party’s ongoing journey in Madhesh politics. The messages delivered during the program will likely resonate widely, inspiring confidence among the people about the party’s vision for a prosperous and united Madhesh within a strong Nepal. The historical significance of Janakpur adds weight to the proceedings, reminding everyone of the region’s pivotal role in shaping Nepal’s democratic path. Overall, this initiative reflects the Nepali Congress’s consistent efforts to integrate Madhesh’s concerns into the mainstream national discourse while promoting values of equality and progress for all sections of society.
