Tharus, Chure Bhawar object to 'One Madhes'

Tharu Kalkarini Sabha (TKS) and Chure Bhawar Ekata Party (CBEP) have raised objections against the demands by Madhes based parties for one province in the Terai belt.

In a statement issued Saturday, CBEP chairman Keshav Prasad Mainali accused of 'national disintegration' in the name of one Madhes. Mainali further said the residents of Chure Bhawar region would not remain silent if the Madhesi demands are met.

Warning that his party is ready to pick up arms for national integrity, CBEP asked the bigger parties to be serious towards the issue.

Similarly, the TKS has also protested the demand for one Madhes province. Stating that if the interim constitution forcefully made them Madhesi, TKS said the Tharu community would not remain under Madhesi rule.

The organisation has announced a series of protest programmes beginning Saturday to alert the constituent assembly against agreeing on single Madhes province.

The Tharu group has come up with protest programmes at a time Madhesi parties, on the initiative of a Tharu CA member Bijay Kumar Gachhadar, are obstructing the regular session of the constituent assembly since Thursday. nepalnews.com ia June 28 08
