Leader Thapa shared that he was informed of the contributions and benevolence shown by Madhesh to the NC and democracy.
"I will study and learn the language, customs, culture and civilization of Madhesh from now onward", he noted.
Some colleagues suggested that I begin with the speech in the local language, he said, "I have come here not to demonstrate a conjurer game. Surely, I will speak up in the local language only after learning it completely".
Sharing that he had raised several Madhesh-related issues in parliament before, he expressed his commitment to focusing on the issues of Madhesh and Madheshi people this time.
Thapa clarified that he descended on Madhesh with the realization that one cannot be completely Nepali without once dedicating oneself to Madhesh.
