Formulate federal laws pronto: Madhesi leaders tell PM Dahal

A team including Madhes Province chief minister has warned Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal of waging a struggle if the federal laws are not formulated pronto.

The team led by Madhes Province Chief Minister Saroj Kumar Yadav held a meeting with Prime Minister Dahal at Baluwatar on Sunday morning and drew his attention towards formulating the federal laws immediately as per the Constitution.

Clarifying that he and his party CPN (Maoist Center) brought the concept of federalism, the Prime Minister said that the government is serious about enacting the laws, according to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.

“The party that fought the most for federalism is our party. You have seen the struggle and initiatives that I have taken for the federal democratic republic,” Prime Minister Dahal said, adding, “Even now, I have been working hard to formulate the federal laws on time. You have been supporting me for the same. You should also start taking initiatives in your respective parties to make the implementation of federalism effective.”

Saying that the government has already taken the bills related to federalism forward, he urged the leaders to postpone the programs of struggle as the bills should be endorsed from the Parliament.

Chief Minister Yadav said that they have taken the request of the Prime Minister positively.
