Kathmandu, Nepal, January 30,2026: Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa today paid heartfelt tribute to Nepal’s martyrs, remembering their sacrifices from the 1951 (2007 B.S.) democratic uprising to the struggles of today’s young activists and leaders.
In an official statement, Thapa reflected on the bravery and dedication of those who gave their lives for the country’s freedom and justice. “The martyrs of 2007, and many before them, laid the foundation of democracy in Nepal. Their courage continues to inspire the current generation to uphold the values of freedom, equality, and justice. We must never forget their sacrifices—they are the pillars of our democracy,” he said.
Thapa emphasized that honoring martyrs is not just about remembering the past, but about taking action in the present. “Paying tribute means continuing their work—ensuring every citizen can live with dignity and that democratic principles guide our nation,” he added.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by Nepal’s youth and political activists, Thapa urged young leaders to draw lessons from history. “The spirit of the martyrs teaches us resilience, unity, and courage. It is the responsibility of today’s generation to carry this spirit forward and face the challenges of our time,” he stated.
The Congress President concluded his statement by reaffirming his party’s commitment to democracy and social justice. He called on citizens, party members, and youth alike to honor the martyrs not just with words, but through meaningful actions that uphold the ideals for which they sacrificed their lives.
Observers noted that Thapa’s message effectively bridges the historic struggle of the 2007 B.S. uprising with the ongoing efforts of modern leaders, serving as a reminder that Nepal’s democratic journey requires active participation from everyone.
