Kathmandu, July 22: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has offered high respect to Pushpa Lal Shrestha, founding general secretary of the Nepal Communist Party.     

PM Oli took to the social site to express tribute to the late leader on the occasion of his 46th Memorial Day today. He recalled that Pushpa Lal's thinking that the Communist and Nepali Congress should together wage a people's movement against the autocratic monarchy has been proven right.
