An ailing Sadbhawana Party president Rajendra Mahto today stoutly denied that the Madhesi Morcha, an alliance of four parties of Nepal’s Terai region demanding amendment to the country’s statute, has split.
Mr Mahto’s assertion came in the wake of media reports from Kathmandu that the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha, spearheading the over four-month-old protest, had split with Mr Mahto opting for continuing the agitation separately.
Speaking to IANS from his hospital bed in Medanta, in Gurgaon, near New Delhi, where he is recovering from injuries received in a clash with the police at Biratnagar on December 26, Mr Mahto said: “The Madhesi Morcha remains united and shall continue the struggle which it has been waging for the past more than four months.”
“Our struggle is historic and we shall achieve our goal… We are prepared to carry on our agitation for as long as it takes to secure our genuine demands….”
Mr Mahto reiterated the resolve that the planned agitation programme would be carried forward and denied that there was any change advised by him therein as reported in the Nepali media- See more at:
