 The agitating Madhes-based parties have agreed to participate in the upcoming local election if the constitution amendment bill in parliament is endorsed with some revisions as agreed during a meeting held between the two sides on Friday. Although the two sides reached an understanding on the issues to be revised in the amendment bill during a meeting held at the prime minister’s official residence at Baluwatar Friday, they have agreed to clinch a formal deal only on Saturday. The meeting has formed a task force comprising senior leaders from both sides to finalize the draft of the agreement as per the understanding reached during Friday’s meeting. Earlier, the government had registered an 11-point constitution amendment bill after withdrawing a previous amendment bill. But the amendment process could not be expedited as both the agitating parties and the opposition alliance refused to back it. The deal between the government and the agitating parties is hugely important as it will remove uncertainty over the local polls scheduled for May 14. The protests of the agitating Madhes-based parties have made it difficult for major political parties to launch poll campaign activities in various districts of Province 2 so far. NC senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel said there has been agreement to revise the current amendment bill and the agitating parties will in return participate in the upcoming election. “We have agreed to make some revisions in the amendment bill that is currently in parliament and all parties will then take part in the election. For this, we will meet again at 2 pm tomorrow after finalizing the points of revision in the current amendment proposal,” Paudel told media persons after the meeting.
