Govt to hold talks with MJF and Chure Samaj next week

Government negotiators are set to hold talks with two agitating groups, Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) and Chure-Bhawar Ekta Samaj, next week.

Peace and Reconstruction Ministry Thursday said the talks with MFJ would be held on July 25 while Chure-Bhawar Samaj had been invited for talks on July 26.

Earlier, both groups had organised agitations in Terai districts for several weeks and have threatened to go on fresh stir if the government does not show flexibility towards their demands, which includes federal system of governance.

The MJF has been registered with the Election Commission as a political party, which will contest the November polls. Few rounds of government-MJF talks had failed to arrive at consensus.
