Organizing a press conference in Kathmandu on Sunday, Yadav dismissed the government's talks invitation letter that has asked the agitators to withdraw their protests and sit for talks. "We will not stop the protests just because the prime minister wrote us a letter. We will intensify it instead.""Until and unless the Madhes issues are resolved, it will not be possible to implement the new constitution and take the country toward prosperity. Although the protests have subsided due to the festive season, we are planning to intensify it immediately after the festival," added Yadav.
He accused the government of not taking Madhes demands seriously. "The government should have resolved our demands long ago. They are still trying to underrate our protests," said Yadav.
