Accusing the major political parties of trying to agree on seven federal provinces in the new constitution, the National Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NFIN) staged hour-long sit-ins outside the central offices of three major political parties.
They handed over memorandums to the major parties–UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, demanding that the federal provinces should be delineated on the basis of the proposal by State Restructuring Committee. The umbrella body of 56 different ethnic groups took out rallies outside the offices of major political parties.
“The states should be formed on the basis of caste, language, and culture. Religious tolerance, inclusive state, and the federal system
should be the basis for restructuring. The recent talks between major parties at a hotel instead of Constituent Assembly, smacks of conspiracy,” said NFIN Chairman Raj Kumar Lekhi Tharu.
Furthermore, NFIN has announced phase-wise protests programmes that include sit-ins at the residences of Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, NC President Sushil Koirala, and UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal.
Moreover, NFIN has planned for General Assemblies, torch rallies, motorcycle rallies, and so forth across the nation.
