Likewise, CPN leader Bamdev Gautam stressed the need for all to develop the country by ending feudalism, saying that the CPN has sailed through various ups and downs since it was established in 2006 B.S.

CPN General Secretary Bisnu Prasad Poudel said Pushpalal proved through his principles that communist movement could bring prosperity to the people and country. Umeshlal, son of Pushpalal , announced to provide Rs 50,000 from his pocket for the rest of his life to the person who bags the Rastriya Puraskar (National Award) established by the government in memory of his father.(RSS)
