Former Minister Prabhu Sah Questions Zero Representation for Madhesi Dalits in Proportional Electoral Lists

Kathmandu. Prabhu Sah, Chairman of the Aam Janata Party (Aam Janata Party - Aajapa) and former minister, has questioned both new and old political parties regarding why there is zero representation for the Madhesi Dalit community in the proportional representation list for the House of Representatives.

He stated that allocating zero seats to the Madhesi Dalit community in the proportional representation list for the House of Representatives is an act of social discrimination and an unfortunate incident.

'Why is there no difference seen between new parties and old parties? This discrimination against Madhesi Dalits, who are more marginalized within the Dalit community, raises questions about the electoral system and the entire constitutional arrangement. This discrimination is unfortunate for the entire country,' said Aajapa Chairman Sah.

He further stated that completely ignoring Madhesi Dalits, who are even more marginalized within the Dalit community, goes against the principles of social justice and inclusive democracy.

Furthermore, he noted that no difference was observed between new and old parties, stating that all have failed to ensure representation for Madhesi Dalits. According to Sah, this discrimination poses a serious challenge to the country's democratic practice and constitutional structure.

Chairman Sah urged all political parties to ensure the rights and representation of Madhesi Dalits, emphasizing the need to guarantee equal opportunities and respectful participation in all state bodies.
