Rastriya Prajantantra Party (RPP) has asked the government and eight parties to make necessary amendments in the interim constitution to address the demands raised by Madhesi people.

The RPP has demanded that amendments be made to introduce provisions on federal system, proportional representation-based electoral system and reservations to minorities and marginalised communities.

The meeting of the central committee of the party has concluded that current problems had arisen after the eight parties by-passed suggestions for amendment in the interim constitution.

The party has asked for compensation to families of those killed in Terai agitation and to those whose properties have been destroyed. It has also asked for free treatment of injured persons.

“The government cannot remain aloof by covering up its weaknesses and pointing fingers at others,” the party said.
