The country observed the Constitution Day amidst a variety of programmes on Sunday. Six years have passed since the national charter was promulgated by the elected Constituent Assembly in 2015. It is the special day in the life of the nation as the statute embodies a moment of political victory. It documents the historic gains made with the joint struggles of the people from all walks of life. It is the grand outcome made through all trials and tribulations. As the dossier of the highest faith, it is the social contract corresponding to the general will and prevalent power structures. While denoting a sense of consensus, compromise and reconciliation, the constitution inspires the people, government, political parties, civil society and other segments of society to strive for the common cause. It reminds them of rights, duty and responsibilities. The society finds order, peace and harmony when the main law of the land is embraced by all stakeholders with sincerity and is implemented in letter and spirit.

The Constitution of Nepal promulgated in 2015 articulates the deep aspirations of Nepalis, capping over the seven-decade-long political struggles waged for democracy, peace, justice and development. It marks the great historical achievement of Nepalis. It is the most comprehensive, progressive, inclusive and democratic charter drafted by the people’s representatives. It has been proclaimed in the name of "We, the people of Nepal, in the exercise of the sovereign powers inherent in us." It has ushered Himalayan state into a new political era characterised by seismic structural changes. It was transformed into a federal, secular and republican state from unitary, Hindu and monarchical one. These alterations are epochal since Nepali nation state was unified in 1768 AD. The radical transformation aims to end all forms of exploitations, discrimination and injustice created under autocratic and feudal production system.

The constitution seeks to ‘resolving to build an egalitarian society founded on the proportional inclusive and participatory principles in order to ensure economic equality, prosperity and social justice, by eliminating discrimination based on class, caste, region, language, religion and gender and all forms of caste based untouchability.’ While recognising the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-cultural and diverse regional characteristics of Nepali society, it protects and promotes social and cultural solidarity, tolerance and harmony, and unity in diversity. It aims to create a socialism-oriented economy so that the people live a happy and prosperous life.

In her message delivered on the occasion, President Bidya Devi Bhandari has said that it is the duty of all to realise the people's aspirations guaranteed by the constitution. She emphasised ensuring access of all citizens to the services and facilities received from the state. Similarly, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba said that the constitution had ensured the rights of all by embracing global norms of democracy and human rights. PM Deuba stated the government was putting in its efforts to implement the constitution in a way that made people experience changes. The Constitution Day is a pious moment for all the elected officials, political parties and state organs to dedicate their words and deeds to translate the provisions of the constitution into a reality.
