Rajbiraj, June 25 :

Maoist central leader Matrika Yadav said, the constituent assembly poll would be boycotted if citizenship is not granted to the Madhesi people before the election.

Speaking in Rajbiraj today, Yadav said, “The first condition is citizenship, because Madheshi would be at a disadvantage if citizenship is not granted them.”

Yadav, who is also chairperson of the Madheshi Rastriya Mukti Morcha, said the seven political parties were not sensitive to the Madhesis’ issues, and so, the Madheshi people’s problem of citizenship has not yet been solved.

Yadav called for forming a larger republican front in the Madhesh and said it was imperative that Madhesi leaders from all political parties meet and talk for the formation of such a front.

Central chairperson of the Nepal Janabadi Morcha, Ram Raja Prasad Singh, voiced doubts about a constituent assembly being formed and urged all to be alert.
