Talks between the task forces of the three major parties and the agitating United Democratic Madhesi Front on the terms of reference for a political mechanism to revise the provincial boundaries failed to break ice.Co-chair of Sadbhawana Party Laxman Lal Karna, a member of the UDMF taskforce, said representatives of Nepali Congress and Unified CPN-Maoist had almost agreed to state in the ToR that the boundaries and the number of provinces would be revised on the basis of the reports of the erstwhile Restructuring Commission, thematic committee of the first Constituent Assembly and the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) of the second CA, but the CPN-UML representative did not agree.
Karna said UML representative Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Bhim Bahadur Rawal only wanted to state in the ToR that the movement would serve as a basis for revision of provincial boundaries and not the reports of the erstwhile SRC and thematic committee of the first CA.
According to Karna, the major parties had agreed to the UDMF proposal that the decision to form a political mechanism should be taken by the same meeting of the Cabinet, which would also decide to withdraw cases against UDMF cadres in Mahottari and form a judicial commission to investigate the killings that took place during protests.
“But now as we could not agree on the ToR of the political mechanism to be formed, I don’t know how the government will treat other issues that it had already agreed to,” Karna added.
