The Federal Democratic Front leaders expressed their condolences on Friday following the Air India crash in Ahmedabad.

According to Mahaseth, the meeting also decided to take suggestions from all of the Front's constituent parties and finalise the work procedure before submitting it for approval at the next Front meeting.
"We decided to work on the issue of indigenous peoples, and the Front's Secretariat decided to proceed with the dialogue for cooperation," Mahaseth stated.
"We also decided to investigate the visit visa scam, expose the truth, and call for strict action against the criminals involved in human trafficking and corruption."
