Maoists Mark 29th People’s War Day with Lighting of 29 Candles

The CPN-Maoist Center celebrated the 29th People’s War Day.

On Tuesday, the Maoists celebrated People’s War Day before the statute conference held at Pragya Pratisthan Bhawan in the capital.

On that occasion, Prime Minister Prachanda lit 29 candles, and a moment of silence was observed in memory of the dead and missing people of the People’s War.

The armed people’s war started by the Maoists on Falgun 1, 2052, lasted for 10 years.

Falgun 1 is celebrated by the Maoists as People’s War Day.

Even though the government had decided to give a public holiday on this day, the Supreme Court overturned it.
