Yadav wants working unity with Madhesi democratic forces

Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum (MJF) chairman Upendra Yadav has stressed on the need of forging a ‘working unity’ with Madhesi democratic forces agitating in the Terai.

Talking to journalists upon arrival in Biratnagar on Friday to inaugurate the first national conference of MJF-affiliated Madhesi Students' Front, Yadav said, “Attempts are on to forge a working unity with Madhesi democratic forces agitating in Terai.”

He also said that for this he was holding talks with Madhesi leader Mahanta Thakur who leads the party made up of Madhesi leaders from various parties who have quit the parliament as well as their party posts citing government’s apathy towards resolving the problems ailing the Madhesh.

Yadav also said that his party was in favor of the CA election and added that it would contest it if it will be held by mid-April 2008.

"The election should be held by mid-April, otherwise the current government will come to an end," he said.

Saying that an all-party government should be formed before the CA election, Yadav said, "But first there should be implementation of various agreements reached between the government and the agitating Madhesi groups and that includes providing compensation to the martyrs of the Madhesi movement, covering expenses of the medical treatment of the injured and providing citizenship to Madhesi people.”

Yadav further said that the party would take initiative to bring the armed agitating groups in Terai to the negotiating table and also urged the government to call them for dialogues.nepalnews.com ag Dec 29 07
