The Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha has announced programmes of protest saying that the government is moving ahead with local polls without amending the constitution.

The Morcha, after a two-day-long meeting held in the Capital, said that they will organise nation-wide protest on January 2.

In a press conference organised post the meeting, Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party Chairman Mahanta Thakur said that the decision has been taken to pressurise the government to pass the amendment bill with some alterations. He further said that the Morcha will not accept any level elections unless the bill is passed.

Likewise, the Morcha dubbed the ongoing obstruction at the parliament by main opposition CPN-UML as undemocratic and against the parliament norms.
