Madhesi parties boycott CA meeting

Madhesi parties boycotted the Constituent Assembly (CA) meeting Sunday, expressing discontent over the constitution amendment bill tabled by the government.

Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party, Sadbhawana Party and Dalit Janajati Party boycotted the CA meeting that will discuss the amendment bill before endorsing it.

The Medhesi parties had on Saturday decided to boycott the CA debate on the bill, which they say fails to address the issues raised by them.

Meanwhile, the Nepali Congress has issued whip to its CA members to attend the CA debate and voting on the amendment bill. Earlier today, NC organised a meeting of its parliament party to discuss its role in the CA. nepalnews.com mk July 13 08
