In recent years, more than 0/00 NPC deputies and CPPCC members in the autonomous region/KLOC put forward suggestions and proposals, demanding that "March 3rd" be designated as a national traditional festival in our region and have a holiday. Especially during the "two sessions" of 20 13 autonomous region, 32 NPC deputies and 32 CPPCC members submitted relevant suggestions and proposals respectively. In addition, many ethnic experts and scholars have also put forward requirements for the government in this regard.
