On the occasion of the 134th International Workers Day, a talk program was held on Baisakh 18, 2080. The program was jointly organized by Khwopa Engineering College, Khwopa College of Engineering, and Khwopa Polytechnic Institute, run by the Bhaktapur Municipality. The chief guest of the program was a Central Secretary of the Nepal Workers and Peasants Party and Federal Member of Parliament, Prem Suwal, who warned intellectuals to be aware that the agents of the capitalist class can enter the labor movement and cause great damage to the movement. He also discussed that capitalism makes doctors, engineers, etc., workers. He made it clear that opportunism is a capitalist idea within the working class, but he said that socialism is a political system that benefits the general public.
He expressed the opinion that there is no justification for the major and emerging political parties of the country that do not speak out and oppose the issues of the country's sovereignty and border security, including the unequal treaty of 1950, the Gorkha Recruitment Center, the MCC, the SPP, and the Citizenship Bill. Also, while stating that lessons should be learned from past labor movements, he pointed out the need to move forward by following socialist ideas as agent provocateurs can enter the movements.
He also discussed the fact that 111 MPs of the House of Representatives currently have their houses in Kathmandu. Being MPs and Ministers only for the Commission, Ministers are synonymous with corrupt people who embezzle billions of dollars. Discussing that the number of people facing criminal and criminal charges in Parliament is increasing, he also discussed that the members of Parliament have encroached on public land. He said that the ruling parties that came to power due to the greed of the commission destroyed government institutions and privatized billions of assets. He pointed out the need to open factories and universities in the country rather than the 5 billion fast track brought by the greed of the commission.
In the program, Deputy Mayor of Bhaktapur Municipality and Vice Chair of College Management Committee Rajani Joshi discussed the importance of May Day and highlighted the work done by Bhaktapur Municipality in various sectors such as education, health, and heritage conservation and mentioned the recognition received as the Khwopa Model even though it is a small municipality. She said that according to the Election Manifesto of the Nepal Workers and Peasants Party and the concept of the book ''Bhaktapur after a Century," written by Com. Rohit, Bhaktapur Municipality is progressing forward.
She said that in Bhaktapur, the development of education, health, preservation of tangible and intangible heritages, etc. will be made a tourist destination, the city will be declared a cultural city, Khwopa University will be established, and it will be a center of knowledge.
In the program, the principal of Khwopa Engineering College, Er. Sujan Maka, said that the work is being done to overshadow the original meaning of International Worker's Day in capitalist countries and discussed that the intellectuals are also on the side of the capitalists and the working class.
In the program, the principal of Khwopa College of Engineering, Er. Sunil Duwal discussed the background of the international labor movement and, expressed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the wages of the workers in large companies in the United States of America increased only by 2 to 5 percent, but the profit of the shareholders increased by many folds. The capitalists were waging wars in different countries to increase their profit by selling weapons as well as in the name of humanitarian aid.
