Why national unification day and Prithvi Narayan Shah should not be celebrated My Republica
Nepal, Jan. 14 The demand for the monarchy s restoration and the desire to reinstate the importance of Prithvi Narayan Shah and national unification day is a desire to revert to an era where both caste and cultural dominance had the overt backing of the state.
On Tuesday last week, the committee formed to celebrate the 299th birth anniversary of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, the founder of Nepal , at a press conference, made a passionate appeal to one and all, emphasizing the need to celebrate Prithvi Narayan Shah s birth and the national unification day with grandiosity. This committee comprises of such personalities as the once Bollywood queen Manisha Koirala, former Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Nepal Ramesh Kharel, and activist Bharat Basnet.

On 20 December, Pakistan’s Minister for Defence Production Zubaida Jalal officially opened another border crossing point with Iran to facilitate trade and travel between the two historically-linked countries. The minister also inaugurated an immigration office at the new Gwadar-Ramdhan entry point, about 130 km from the strategic Chabahar port in Iran, being built by India. The crossing is suitably located for bilateral import and export of fruits, construction material, livestock and petroleum products.
The opening of this crossing was finalised during the visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Dr Javad Zarifto Pakistan on 12 November. As per the agreement, more border crossing points will be opened in the near future. Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that the opening of another international border crossing-point underlines the strengthening bilateral ties and increasing economic activities.
