Madhesi Front boycotts parliamentary session
Tarai-Madhes Sadbhawana Party's Mahendra Raya Yadav drew the House Speaker's attention towards addressing the demands being raised for long by the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) and Tharuhat Tarai Party among others.
He complained at the lack of attention from the local administration towards increasing violence against women (VAW) in Sarlahi. He urged the Home Minister to take action against the local administration for condoning VAW.
The government has shown no interest in holding dialogue with the Madhesi Front or taking into confidence the dissident groups, Yadav complained while pressing for implementation of the eight point agreement reached earlier.
The Madhesi Front affiliated lawmakers boycotted the parliamentary proceedings following Yadav's speech. RSS
