Mahato urges government to be serious towards current crisis

RAJBIRAJ: Sadhbhawana Party chairperson Rajendra Mahato said the talks would not be decisive as long as Nepali congress and Unified CPN-Maoist did not come up with concrete consensus on demarcation of the federal provinces.

Briefly speaking with journalists at a press meet, he blamed the government for trying to weaken the Madhes stir.

He further claimed that the government made mockery of the United Democratic Madhesi Front, expressing unwillingness to sit for talks. When the UDMF agreed to sit for talks, the government along with big three parties have been staging drama ever since, he added.

He warned that the current KP Sharma Oli-led government is not serious towards the current crisis and pushing the nation towards a civil war.

Mahato said the government was not serious about resolving the current crisis, but it engaged itself in disseminating anti-Indian sentiments among the Nepali people.

He even said the days of the incumbent government are numbered.

He clarified that the Madhes agitation is not against the hill-origin people, but the stir against the 250-year long suppression by feudal and autocratic rulers.

He even urged the hill-origin people to support the Madhes protest as the Madhesi people were there with the relief packages to support victims of the April 25 earthquake.
