Janmat Party Chairman Dr. CK Raut Alleges Conspiracy to Form Government Using Madhesh's Strength Without Granting Rights

Kathmandu. Janmat Party Chairman Dr. CK Raut has stated that there has been a conspiracy to form a government using the strength of Madhesh without granting rights.

Addressing a protest organized by the Janmat Party at Maitighar in Kathmandu on Monday, he said that regardless of the system of governance in Nepal, the demands of Madhesh have always been met with indifference.

He accused that the tendency to take votes from Madhesh to form a government but ignore the issues of Madhesh's rights has been continuous. Claiming that colonial rule was imposed on Madhesh during the Rana regime, Chairman Raut alleged that the Congress and Communist parties have also been cheating Madhesh in various ways for the past 75 years.

He stated that even though the Congress and Communists have led the government since 2007/08 BS, Madhesis have not been given full rights to this day. According to him, the main demands of Madhesh, including citizenship, management of the landless, and autonomy, have not yet been fulfilled.

He claimed that the Madhesi community was deprived of expected achievements even during the armed conflict, mentioning that Madhesis were also cheated by the Maoist-led movement. He claimed that discrimination will not end until the political, social, and constitutional rights of Madhesh are ensured.

During his address, Raut said, 'The Ranas also cheated Madhesh, imposed colonial rule, and the Congress and Communists have been cheating for the past 75 years, which is evident. After the Congress came to power in 2007/08 BS, they have been cheating in various ways by not giving any rights, not giving citizenship, not managing the landless, and not giving autonomy. The conspiracy has been to take votes from Madhesh, form a government from Madhesh, but never give rights. Not only that, but there is evidence that Madhesis were also cheated during the Maoist movement.'

He strongly urged the current government to address the demands of Madhesh. Chairman Raut also informed that a memorandum would be submitted to the Prime Minister through the District Administration Office on Monday to pressure for the fulfillment of Madhesh's demands.
