The Nepal Communist Party (Nekpa) has announced a two-month National Awakening Campaign, scheduled to run from Kartik 7 to Mangsir 25, to collect key concerns and demands from the country and its people and press for their resolution on a priority basis. Party spokesperson Prakash Jwala said the campaign will be inaugurated with a press conference at the party’s central office in Parisdanda at 2:30 pm on Saturday. The party has issued a 25-point circular outlining the campaign and plans to submit memorandums to government leaders, from the Prime Minister to chief ministers.
Campaign to gather public concerns
The campaign is intended to bring the country’s and people’s main concerns and demands into focus, according to the party’s announcement. Nekpa has said those issues should be addressed as a priority. The stated aim therefore combines gathering concerns with pressing for their resolution, rather than limiting the campaign to an announcement or public outreach effort.
The campaign period is set to begin on Kartik 7 and conclude on Mangsir 25. The party has not, in the details provided in its announcement, specified particular locations, events or individual demands that will be covered during the two months. Its stated plan is to collect concerns and demands at a national level and seek action on the issues identified through the campaign.
Circular sets out the party’s plan
Nekpa has issued a 25-point circular in connection with the campaign. The circular provides the party’s framework for the initiative, while the announcement describes its central purpose: gathering concerns and demands and pushing for their resolution on a priority basis. The party has not detailed the individual points in the information available about the announcement.
The planned memorandums are a key part of how the party says it will take the demands forward. Nekpa intends to submit them across levels of government, starting with the Prime Minister and extending down to chief ministers. The announcement does not specify when each memorandum will be submitted, which demands will be included or how the party will follow up after submission.
Inauguration set for Parisdanda
Spokesperson Jwala said the campaign will be formally inaugurated at a press conference at Nekpa’s central office in Parisdanda. The event is scheduled for 2:30 pm on Saturday. The party has not provided a calendar date for the Saturday event in the details of the announcement, but has identified the venue and time for the launch.
The press conference will mark the start of the two-month programme, while the campaign itself is expected to continue through Mangsir 25. The party’s announcement presents the initiative as a national effort focused on identifying public concerns and seeking their resolution through government action. Further details about activities during the campaign were not included in the information released so far. The announcement and the party circular have been reported by Ratopati.
