A meeting of NC leaders called today to discuss the bill with its lawmakers representing from Tarai-Madhes suggested endorsing the bill at any cost after holding consultations with all political parties including main opposition CPN (UML). NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba after the meeting said the amendment bill registered in the Parliament would be endorsed.
