Twelfth Commemoration Day of Supreme Leader Ganeshman Singh
By KTM Metro Reporter In Kathmandu
On September 18, 2009, the Ganeshman Singh Foundation has celebrated the Twelfth Commemoration Day of Supreme Leader Ganeshman Singh garlanding his statue at Shovabhagvati in Kathmandu.
Ganeshman Singh was the Supreme Commander of the People’s Movement for Democracy in 1990. He led the People’s Movement for Democracy jointly launched by the United Left Front and the Nepali Congress, and finished off the Panchayat system and reinstated the multi-party democratic system of governance scrapped by despotic ruler Mahendra: killer of democracy.
Ganeshman Singh fought against the autocratic family rule of Ranas and set up democracy in Nepal in 1951. Only after a decade of the removing Ranas and setting up democracy, another autocrat Mahendra seized the power from the democratically elected government and put Ganeshman Singh and his colleague BP Koirala in jail, thus needing another movement for reinstating democracy in Nepal in 1990.
