Kathmandu, September 17

Leaders of Deputy Prime Minister Upendra Yadav-led Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal have expressed contrasting opinions on whether the party will celebrate the Constitution Day or it will mark it as a black day in protest of the charter.

On Sunday, the party’s Province 2 Chairperson Renu Yadav issued a statement calling all leaders of the party holding leadership positions at local and provincial governments to boycott the Constitution Day celebration citing it will be a black day as the constitution has restricted Madheshi people’s rights.

However, the party’s Deputy General Secretary and Central Office Chief Prakash Adhikari issued a statement from the central office today, informing the party has not made any decision in this regard.

In the statement, Adhikari has said the party has made an understanding with parties in the government to correct mistakes in the constitution gradually.

Nepal is celebrating the third anniversary of the promulgation of its new 2015 constitution as the Constitution Day on Wednesday.
