According to knowledgeable sources, Gachchhadar has recently forwarded three files to the Ministry of Law and Justice (MoLJ) seeking approval to release 25-30 Madhesi leaders/cadres from jail.[break]
The source said Gachchhadar, who is also Chairman of Madhesi People´s Rights Forum-Democratic (MPRF-D), has instructed officials and his cadres to gather actual data of the political cases filed against leaders and cadres of Madhesi parties.
These cases will also include individuals who have been implicated in the “Gaur massacre” in which 27 Maoist cadres were killed in 2007.
A senior leader of United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) also confirmed that Gachchhadar will take the proposal to the cabinet as per as the four-point agreement signed between the Madhesi alliance and the UCPN (Maoist).
The leader said that MoHA is also preparing to withdraw cases filed against leaders and cadres of various armed outfits in the Tarai region, who are currently negotiating with the government.
Gachchhadar is under intense pressure from UDMF leaders to initiate the process to withdraw cases filed against Madhesi leaders and cadres.
