UCPN (M) alliance objects Minister Mahat’s remark on federalism

Federal Republican Front, an alliance ofUCPN (Maoist) and Madhesh-based parties, has expressed serious concerns over the remarks made by Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat.
Minister Mahat, who is on a visit to India, has yesterday said that the new constitution could be drafted by keeping aside the issue offederalism if consensus eluded on the same.
A meeting if the alliance in the Capital on Tuesday concluded that Minister Mahat’s remark was objectionable, irresponsible and against public sentiment. Issuing a statement today, the alliance comprising of UCPN (M), Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, MJF-Loktantrik, among other parties, deplored the minister’s statement dubbing it regressive.
“The question has been raised whether the statement also represents Nepali Congress, UML and the government,” further mentioned the statement, demanding the concerned stakeholders to clear this position on the same.
