A two-day meeting of the front that concluded Monday in Kathmandu came up with its official view regarding the five-point deal.[break]
UDMF has emphasized on the need of coming up with a clear timeline with regard to accomplishing the tasks of integrating and rehabilitating Maoist combatants within the next two months.
The alliance termed the recent move of UCPN (Maoist) to end dual security provided to the Maoist leaders and locking the weapons used for the security of the top leaders in a container as a positive but only a symbolic step.
´´Promulgation of the new constitution without guarantee of formation of autonomous Madhes and other states will not be acceptable to us,´´ Madheshi Peope´s Right Forum-Republican Chairman Jaya Prakash Prasad Gupta said at the press meet on Monday.
Similarly, UDMF asked the government to start the process to recruit 10,000 people from Madhesi communities in the Nepal Army as per the spirit of the five-point deal.
The alliance claimed that the extended term of the CA will be futile if their demands are not met.
UDMF has asked Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal to step down to pave the way for national consensus and claimed that no agreement can be considered a national consensus unless the UDMF is involved in it.
UDMF also demanded inclusion of UDMF leaders in the parliamentary panel to be formed for monitoring the five-point deal.
Madheshi Peope´s Right Forum-Democratic Chairman Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar criticized Nepali Congress leaders for failing to firmly stick to the 10-point demand during CA extension talks on May 28.
UDMF did not attend an all-party meeting called by the NC at its central office on Sunday, alleging duplicity during the May 28 talks.
