Nepal, Feb. 19 -- Former King Gyanendra Shah has paid tribute to the known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the establishment of democracy.

Through a video message on the occasion of Democracy Day, the former monarch stated that poverty and instability are Nepal's main adversaries.

"It is time to reflect on what the changes brought about by past movements and struggles have truly given to the country and the people. There is a growing trend of seeking rights without considering duties. Therefore, everyone must think seriously," the former King said.

Former King Shah emphasised that the culture of one Nepali considering another Nepali an enemy should be put to an end.
