Tajik ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which is headed by President Emomali Rahmon, will carry out actions dedicated to President’s Day in all regions of the country.
This holiday will be celebrated in Tajikistan on November 16 for the first time.
Usmon Soleh, the head of the PDP public relations department, says the party organizations in the regions will hold conferences and roundtables dedicated to “the Leader of the Nation President Emomali Rahmon.”
According to him, exhibitions of books by Emomali Rahmon will be organized at all libraries and museums across the country.
“Besides, exhibitions of works by Tajik painters and photographers dedicated to the Leader of the Nation will be organized at museums and libraries,” Soleh noted.
On November 16, portraits of Emomali Rahmon with inscription “Our President – Our Leader” will be hung out in all regional and district centers.
On this day, meetings under the slogan of “Loyalty to President – Loyalty to Homeland” will take place in all military units across Tajikistan, Soleh added.
Besides, students of some high schools of Khatlon province will visit School # 7 in the Danghara district and the vocational-technical school in the city of Sarband in which Emomali Rahmon studied.
Tajik lawmakers approved a bill to designate November 16 as President's Day on April 15, 2016 and President Emomali Rahmon signed this law on May 16, 2016.
A bill passed in December last year gave Emomali Rahmon the title of “the Leader of the Nation” and granted him and his relatives lifelong immunity from prosecution.
On May 22, 2016, Tajikistan held a referendum on constitutional amendments that allow Rahmon to run for office for an indefinite number of times.
