KATHMANDU, MARCH 27: Tarai-Madhesh Democratic Party (TMDP) has threatened to obstruct the winter session of the parliament if its three demands are not met. The session begins Sunday. [break]



TMDP Vice Chairman Hridayesh Tripathi said his party has reservations regarding the formation of the Army Integration Special Committee, ordinance on inclusiveness in public services and "impunity" over the 2007 Kapilvastu mayhem.



“We will obstruct the parliament session till the AISC headed by prime minister is dissolved, ordinance are made more specific and the culprits behind Kapilvastu incident booked," Tripathi told reporters after a seven-party meeting at Singha Durbar Friday.



The party has argued that the AISC, which has two members each from four major parties excluding TMDP, was not constituted as per the spirit of the Interim Constitution and should be revoked. Similarly, the party has also asked the government to make the ordinance on inclusiveness in public services clearer.
