The government is going to implement the agreements signed during the Tarai Madhes Movement. Unveiling the Common Minimum Program (CMP) of the government on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Poudel said that the government will soon implement the agreements signed with the agitating groups. “The cases will be scrapped and arrested leaders and cadres will be released as per the agreements signed between the government and protesters during the Tarai Madhes Movement,” the program said.

The CK Raut-led Janamat party and Resham Chaudhary’s Nagarik Unmukti Party had put forward this agenda as a condition to participate in the government.

The both parties had also announced that they would not participate in the government until their demands are met. A leader of the ruling coalition said that the process to release the leaders and cadres of Janatmat Party and Nagarik Unmukti Party will be started soon. Earlier on Sunday, Janamat Party and Nagarik Unmukti Party had reached a 12-point agreement for functional unity. The two parties had decided to mount pressure on the government to release Resham Chaudhary among others convicted in the Kailai carnage.
