Madhesi front announces new protest programs

Kathmandu December 18- Concluding that the government was taking the talks lightly, the agitating United Democratic Madhesi Front announced new protest programmes, on Friday.

The Front held a meeting in Kathmandu today to review the protest programmes and formulate new strategies in the wake of the Constitution Amendment Bill the government tabled at the Parliament and announced new programs.

A press statement issued after the meeting said the Front concluded that the talks turned irrelevant as the government did not have any clear view on demands of the protesting parties.

It added that the Constitution Amendment Bill did not address concerns of Madhesis, Janajatis, Dalits, Tharus, Muslims and other agitating communities.
