Nepal’s 33 agitating political parties on Thursday submitted a five-point agenda to the Government and asked it to create an environment in which all parties could take ownership of the new Constitution.
The meeting between the two sides failed to take any concrete decision regarding the ongoing political crisis.
However, a negotiator from the protesting bloc, Nepal Samata Party Secretary Bikram Kunwar, said the talks were positive and the protesters were hopeful that the government would soon fulfill their demands.
Madhesi parties and various ethnic groups have launched agitation for the past several months demanding re-demarcation of the provincial boundary and more rights and representatives for the Madhesis and other ethnic minority groups.
Kunwar said the agitators urged the government to create an environment in which all parties could take ownership of the new Constitution.
The alliance submitted a five-point memorandum to the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli-led team. It demanded that the government form a powerful commission to address various problems facing underprivileged, peasants, labourers, unemployed and landless people among others.
Deputy Prime Minister Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar said the government would try to address the protesters’ concerns through talks.
