Kathmandu, Nepal: Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae has suggested to the top leaders of the agitating United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) to support constitution amendment bill registered in the parliament.
Indian Ambassador to Nepal has made the urge to the Madhesi leaders inviting them in the Indian embassy in Lajipat, Kathmandu on Saturday morning. Indian Ambassador Rae had offered a lunch party with the UDMF leaders.
The urge of the Indian ambassador to Nepal has come in the mean time when not only the agitating UDMF leaders are saying that they would not support the bill unless it is modified to address their demands but also the main opposition CPN UML and the people in general have been opposing the constitution amendment bill.
With the urge of the India ambassador to Nepal, the UDMF would accept the constitution amendment bill, but political parties particularly the CPN UML and the people in general would not support to passage the bill.
Political parties and the people in general have been opposing the bill as it has proposed to split the Terai from province number five. The issue of naturalized citizenship and language is also opposed.
According to the reliable source close to the Indian embassy in Kathmandu, Ambassador Rae repeatedly urged the UDMF leaders not to refuse the bill but support to the government to passage the bill in the parliament.
Whatever the issues are tried to address through the amendment, need to be taken positively because all the demands would not be addressed with a single effort, Indian ambassador Rae had in the meeting.
The meeting of the UDMF leaders with the Indian ambassador over the issue of constitution amendment bill and the suggestions he has made to support the constitution amendment bill is taken meaningfully in the political and diplomatic level.
