Even as the news about a breakthrough in the Madhes crisis made rounds, two members--Laxmanlal Karn and Lalbabu Raut Gaddi--of the talks team from the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) were spotted on Friday among other agitators staging sit-in protest at the Birgunj-Raxual border.
Leader Karn said that the biggest achievement of the current protest was the rise in the sense of self-respect among Madhesis.
The country and Madhes both went through great sufferings but that was because the government failed to address the issues of Madhes movement, according to him.
