KP Sharma Oli Hails Nepal’s Religious Harmony in Bakra Eid Message

CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has extended his best wishes to Nepal’s Muslim community and Muslims around the world on the occasion of Bakra Eid.

In his message, Oli described Nepal as a sacred land where different faiths, cultures, and civilizations have long been preserved through mutual coexistence. He said the country’s identity is strengthened by the peaceful presence of multiple religious traditions.

A message centered on harmony

Oli highlighted the sounds of temples, mosques, and monasteries as symbols of Nepal’s unique spiritual character. According to his statement, this harmony across faiths makes Nepal distinct as a land of coexistence rather than division.

The message frames Bakra Eid not only as a religious celebration but also as a reminder of Nepal’s broader tradition of tolerance and shared community life.
