KATHMANDU: The lawmakers of the parties associated with the United Democratic Madhesi Front have boycotted the Legislature-Parliament meeting today.

With the commencement of the meeting, UDMF-affiliated lawmakers stood up from their respective seats after Speaker Onsari Gharti gave time to Akbal Ahamad Sah to put his views.

Lawmaker Sah, demanding an endorsement of the constitution amendment bill registered in the parliament, said the UDMF was informed by media that the government was replacing the amendment bill with a new one by excluding the issues of demarcation.

He stressed that a high-level boundary demarcation federal commission should be formed first by scrapping the Article 274 of the Nepal's constitution.

We should wait for such Commission to submit its report at the parliament to withdraw the existing amendment bill.

Stating that the report of Local- Level Restructuring Commission was not acceptable for the UDMF, he said they would not take part in the local level elections until the report is revised.

He also warned to obstruct the local level polls before informing their decision of boycotting the house session.
