KATHMANDU, Jan 12: Former President Bidya Devi Bhandari said that the basis for keeping intact national dignity and sovereignty was laid by the unification bid initiated and led by the late king Prithvi Narayan Shah.

In a message she issued on the occasion of National Unity Day-2080 BS today, the former President argued that Nepal falls among one of the old independent countries due to the unification bid spearheaded by the late king Shah. 

"We are proud to be the citizens of a country that was never colonized by any other country. We have been able to embark on the journey to the current democratic republic Nepal standing on the baseline made by the unification bid," the former President asserted.

Bhandari, in her message, expressed her honor to those brave ancestors who sacrificed their lives for building a unified and indivisible Nepal. 

According to her, a broad baseline has been prepared to amplify the geographical unification bid initiated by Prithvi Narayan Shah thereby conserving Nepal's unique cultures, languages and traditions, and building a strong national unity through the emotional unification of the Nepali citizens. 

She was of the view that it was our responsibility to build a nation that is sovereign, self-reliant and has a strong national economy. "I am confident that the Day would inspire one and all to discharge epochal obligations and to further strengthen nationality, national unity and sovereignty and to attain prosperity for the citizens," the former President stated in the message.
