Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik will be holding its first national convention in Biratnagar from May 2 to 4. 

MJF-L Chairman Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar told a news conference that the country’s priorities were peace, development, political stability and national unity along with successful implementation of the constitution. 

The convention would focus on addressing the pending issues of women, Madhesis, Tharus, indigenous nationalities, Dalits, Muslims and marginalised and backward classes. Gachhadar said there was no alternative to amending the new constitution which would help resolve the differences with the agitating Madhesi parties. 

“Waging an agitation is a democratic right, but none should corner the country,” said Gachhadar.
