RPP demands reservation; Prachanda meets RPP chief Rana
The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has demanded reservation for Janajatis, Madhesis, Muslim Dalits and other marginalised sections of the society in the interim constitution.
The central working committee meeting of the party said that all should be given proportional representation in all bodies of the state.
A press statement issued after the central working committee meeting of the party also said that the constitution should be amended after holding talks with the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities and Madhesis.
It also demanded that the interim constitution mention “all parties in the parliament” instead of the present “eight parties”.
Expressing solidarity with the demand of Madhesi people for the resignation of the Home Minister, the RPP said, it would be irrational to give protection to a person ignoring the sprit of a mass movement.
Meanwhile, Maoist chairman Prachanda, who is intensifying political consultation ahead of the formation of interim government held discussion with RPP chairman Pashupati Shumser JB Rana on Sunday and discussed current the political situation of the country.
According to reports, RPP chairman Rana urged the Maoist chairman to allow the party to hold its political programme in Sindhupalchowk. In reply Prachanda said that they are not obstructing any political parties to organise political programmes. nepalnews.com pb Mar 05 07
