Justify objection: Bhattarai

JANAKPURDHAM: Vice-chairman of UCPN-Maoist Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Saturday said that his party did not see plausible reason behind the Madhes-based parties’ objection to its recent declaration of Madhes autonomous state. Speaking at a press conference organised in Janakpur, he said that the other Madhesi parties would not be able to justify their protest. The Maoist ideologue also claimed that his party was neck to neck with other Madhes based parties in the Tarai region. He, however, said that his party was ready to hold dialogues with other groups and parties on the federal structure.
