19 Nov, Bardibas:
National Madesh Socialist Party Chairman Sarat Singh Bhandari has stated that the ongoing agitation in Madhesh should get constitutional outlet.
Speaking to the media persons at his residence in his hometown at Aurahi in Mahottari district today, leader Bhandari accused that the government was apathetic about solving the issues in Madhesh although his Party had been pressing for resolution of the issue through Parliament.
“The government is just toying with the agitators,” he remarked.
Bhandari, also former Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, argued that the resolution of Madhesh agitation through the amendment of new constitution would not be possible unless the Nepali Congress (NC) whose participation is a must for the two third majority votes required for the purpose joins the table for talks.
He was of the opinion that the ruling parties and NC should be clear about the thematic issue of the Madhesh agitation which is linked with the delineation of federal provinces.
“We cannot imagine Madhesh without Chure,” explained Bhandari on the delineation and their demands.
“If the major political parties do not become clear about delineation at the earliest, the upcoming agitation would settle all issues although the agitation will be furthered in a peaceful manner,” clarified Bhandari. RSS
