KATHMANDU: The Federal Alliance on Monday served a 15-day ultimatum to the government urging the latter to fully implement the three-point agreement the ruling coalition partners had signed with it in August before electing Pushpa Kamal Dahal the Prime Minister. The Alliance leaders held a meeting Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal at his residence in Baluwatar and submitted a memorandum to the PM with the ultimatum. Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal Co-Chairman Rajendra Shrestha, who was present in the meeting, told THT Online that the Alliance in cooperation with the other pro-identity forces would launch a national movement if the ultimatum was not heeded. It has been demanding that the government immediately table a Constitution amendment bill to address their concerns as promised. In response, the Prime Minister said the amendment bill would be tabled at the House before the ultimatum expires, according to a statement issued by the PM's Secretariat later today. The Alliance also demanded that the state delineation should be on a par with the report of the erstwhile State Restructuring Commission, according to Shrestha. Rajendra Mahota, Upendra Yadav, Mahendra Ray Yadav, Om Gurung, Ashok Rai among others had represented the Alliance. READ ALSO:
