The Communist Party of Nepal was established under the leadership of Pushpalal Shrestha to encourage people to protest the then Rana regime and for social transformation and awareness in the country.
Shrestha himself had for the first time, prepared the first Nepali translation of the Communist Manifesto.
Although in the beginning, there was a single Communist Party under one name, it went on being divided due to differences in working style and ideology.
Various parties and party wings of UCPN-Maoist, CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist, and Nepal Communist Party are organizing various programmes on the occasion of the founding day.
In this connection, UML youth leaders Ghanashyam Bhusal and Yogesh Bhattarai are organizing an extensive discussion programme at the City Hall in the capital on Marxism and Communism.
However, what is interesting is that none of the top leaders of any communist party will address the programme.
