Madhesis defiant

KATHMANDU: A day after obstructing the Constituent Assembly’s procedure, leaders of various Madhesi parties on Friday declared to further obstruct the CA if their demands are not incorporated in the constitution amendment bill.

Talking to journalists at a press meet, leader of the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, Bijay Kumar Gachhedar said the agreement reached between them and the government regarding federal autonomous provinces in the Terai (or Madhes) should be written in the bill.

“The government should include the 8-point agreement, signed in March about establishing federal autonomous provinces in Terai and recruitment of Madhesi and other indigenous people in Nepal Army,” Mr. Gachhedar told reporters.
