Kathmandu, March 12: Nepali Congress, a ruling partner, is to facilitate between the agitating Madhesi Front and major opposition, CPN-UML, and pitch for endorsing the constitution amendment bill.
At a meeting of the NC held at parliamentary party office in Singha Durbar attended by its current and formal office bearers on Saturday, the party has decided to hold talks and make efforts to keep the Front in the ruling coalition, according to leader Ramesh Lekhak.
The Front, an alliance of Madhesh-centric political parties, has been protesting the announcement of date for the local level election without considering bill to amend the constitution registered at the Legislature-Parliament on November 29, 2016.
The Front has been warning of withdrawing support to the coalition government if no amendment is considered in the constitution, revoking the local body election’s date and bringing the guilt of the Saptari incident to justice.
A letter was submitted on March 8 by the Front to the government calling to address their demands within a week or else they would pull out their hand from the coalition government.
Emerging from the meeting, leader Lekhak further shared that the meeting has also decided to make the upcoming local body’s election a success.
The next meeting of the NC office-bearers is scheduled for March 14. RSS
