Though the Constitution Assembly
didn’t proclaim new constitution on 27th May, 2012, before the date the top
political parties & leaders so called of the country were on the process to
divide the nation based on ethnicity and caste which draw a negative impact on
the publics’ mind. It had drawn the margin on the ethnicity and caste. It had
created psychological effect on the people that the country had been already
divided by Ethnicity based Federalism. Even there were some examples of dispute
on the same cause in various communities. Pointing out the requirement, the
students of Law Ms. Puspha Palanchoke & Ms. Swostika Timalsina from Bal Prativa Prasfutan Samuha made an
objective to conduct a “Peace and
Harmony Rally” with theme “Yo Man ta Mero Nepalee ho!”. They approached me in this stuff and we Leo
Club of Banepa and AI, Banepa Youth Network which I am currently engaged with
gave a full support for this program to make it success. We began to promote
this rally and motivate youths to participate this rally and make an
environment to collect some low budgets. We distributed invitation cards and
letters to various service motive Clubs,
organizations, schools, colleges, youth networks, groups and some social icons
too.
The rally was estimated for the
date 8th June 2012, Friday, 2 PM onward with the venue Budol as the
initiation point and Layeku was the end point which passes Chardobato,
Tindobato which is the main check points on Banepa. We had planned to paint the
wall with some sort of painting that indicates Nationalism at Budol and end up
the program with small Musical show from local group at Layeku. As per the plan
we keep on working out and conducted Press Conference on Banepa Municipality
Hall on 6th June 2012 which made the news of rally be printed on
many of the local newspapers.
On the date 8th June
2012, some of our friends cleaned the wall at Budol and painted it the painting
with the help of Bajra Tatoos, Banepa. Till the predefined time students from
schools, college and personalities representing various organizations had
appeared on the venue. Volunteer friend from Bajra Tatoos, Banepa went on
painting Nepalese flags on the face and other parts of the bodies, while some
volunteers friends from Leo Club of Banepa
helped on tying bands of three colors i.e RED, BLUE & WHITE on the
participants’ hands. The Rally got started with the National Anthem with the
mass of people from different caste, ethnic, profession and age with the
National flags swinging. Some of the friends had dressed them with different
dresses representing various ethnic groups. The rally got some of the people
appended on the way. The public had served with the water at Chardobato for the
participants of the rally walking in spite on that hot temperature for the
national unity, peace and harmony. The rally got to the end point Layeku and
the mass was called to tune up the National Anthem again followed by the
Candles burning writing “Yo Man ta Mero Nepalee ho!”. The program ended with the small Musical Show
conducted by the local group. They performed the songs that mark the
nationalism. Finally the program packed up with vote of thanks to all participants,
volunteers, sponsors, media personals.
