The Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM), who stands against the preliminary draft of new Constitution, has initiated efforts to forge working alliance with Mohan Baidya-led Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) and other fringe parties to escalate the protest against the draft Constitution, reports Ekantipur.com. The Madhesi leaders proposed a working unity with Baidya and the leaders of eight other parties against the draft Constitution on August 3. Sadbhawana Party (SP) General Secretary Manish Suman said an agreement has been forged between four parties of Madhes and eight other parties to get united for annulment of the draft Constitution. “Twelve parties have agreed to launch joint protest,” said Suman. “A meeting tomorrow at Baidya Ji’s party office will announce our future protest programmes.”

Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli said the new Constitution will be promulgated by mid-August, despite the “conspiracies that are afoot to foil the constitution drafting process”, reports Ekantipur.com. Speaking at the party’s Parliamentary Party office on August 4, Oli also said that he was not against federalism. “Demarcation of states should be finalised, but it is important to promulgate the new constitution by the set deadline,” CPN-UML lawmaker Rajan Bhattarai quoted Oli as saying. The CPN-UML chairman also said that he is in favour of keeping fewer provinces than what the four major parties had agreed in the 16-point deal signed on June 8.

speaking at an interaction on 'New Constitution and Dalit Rights' organized by Bhagat Sarwajeet Memorial Academy in Kathmandu on August 4, CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal stressed on the need for drafting a Constitution that would bring real changes in the life of the Dalit community and women that have remained in the back burner, reports Myrepublica.com. Leader Nepal termed the demands raised by the Dalit community as appropriate while explaining he remained committed towards securing the rights of the Dalit community in the constitutional form.

The leaders from Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and Madhesi People's Rights Forum-Democratic (MPRF-D) have decided to federate the country into six provinces, reports Myrepublica.com. The leaders while emerging from a meeting held at Singha Durbar on August 5, claimed to have resolved all remaining disputes and said the final decision would be made by August 6. The leaders this time have not only fixed the number but also drawn the boundaries of the proposed provinces, although disputes remain over three Districts. They have also resolved the dispute over five Districts -- Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari in the east and Kailali and Kanchanpur in the west. This had remained the most contentious issue in the past. However, they are yet to agree on Kailali District. UCPN-M and Madhes-based parties have been lobbying for including Kailali district in Madhes province while NC and CPN-UML have strongly opposed the idea of separating it from other far-western hill Districts. In the east, they have delineated a province comprising Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari and other eastern hill Districts. All the Districts to the east of Udayapur, Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu are in the eastern province. However, MPRF-D Chairman Bijay Gachchhadar is still insisting on including Saptari District in this province. All the southern Districts from the west of Saptari to Parsa are included in a single province. Similarly, the southern area covering Nawalparasi to Bardiya has been included in another Tarai province. However, leaders remain undecided on Kailali. The leaders have included Chitwan District in the province comprising Kathmandu and other Districts east of Dhading, Nuwakot and Rasuwa. This province stretches up to Ramechhap and Sindhuli in the east. Likewise, another province covers hill Districts from Gorkha, Lamjung to Rukum and Rolpa in the west. As this province has no connection with the Indian border, leaders are for giving an exit somewhere in Nawalparasi District. The far-western province covers all the Districts in this region. Salyan, Jajarkot and Dolpa and all other Districts west of it fall in this province. The Tarai District of Kanchanpur has been included in this province. NC Vice-chairman Ram Chandra Paudel, CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda, MPRF-D Chairman Bijay Gachchhadar and Chairman of CA's Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) Baburam Bhattarai also said that they will finalize the issues by August 6.

The dispute over the delineation and number of federal states has deepened with the signatories to the 16-point agreement pitching new proposals and stances, reports Ekantipur.com on August 7. With the delay in building consensus, chances of promulgating the new constitution by August 16 are fading. In a shift from the parties’ official positions, discussions are focused on the stances of top leaders of the major parties and the growing pressure from cross-party Constituent Assembly (CA) members not to split particular Districts and regions while carving out the federal structure. According to leaders, the unstructured dialogue has robbed the marathon meeting of positive outcomes. The demarcation dispute surrounds Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Saptari, Kanchanpur and Kailali Districts. Senior leader of Nepali Congress (NC) Sher Bahadur Deuba and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) leader Bhim Rawal are adamant that the nine Districts of the Far West should remain undivided and Kailali should not be split. Deuba and Rawal maintain that federalism would be ineffective in case Kailali is split. Factions within the NC, the CPN-UML and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) are, however, for reaching a deal even by splitting the Districts. Disputes over secularism, forms of government and provisions regarding citizenship, among others, have yet to be resolved. As the parties failed to sort the contention, a new constitution by August 16, as agreed informally among the parties, is unlikely. Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) Chairman Krishna Prasad Sitaula has said a week is required to prepare the final constitution draft after the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) completes its work.

Though various amicable options are on the table, four major parties - the Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik (MJF-L), seem unable to make a breakthrough on the number and delineation of federal units, and the provisions on religion and citizenship, reports Ekantipur.com. Despite hours-long negotiations between top leaders, major parties on August 7, failed to make any headway towards settling the contentious issues. Parties are still hopeful of consensus and have decided to hold talks on August 8, as well. The number and borders of federal states and religion have emerged as prickly issues. The parties have been discussing the agendas for a week but there has been no agreement. Pressure piled by Constituent Assembly (CA) members across the party line to keep some geographical areas and zones undivided has also complicated the issue of demarcation.

Nepal’s four major parties reached a landmark deal to divide the country into six provinces, resolving contentious issues of federalism under the new Constitution, a crucial development praised by Prime Minister Sushil Koirala, reports The Hindu. Following a meeting, the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) of the Constituent Assembly (CA) finally inked an agreement on August 9, to carve out the six federal units. “A constitution with federalism and demarcation has been ensured,” Prime Minister Sushil Koirala tweeted. “I call on everyone to not be stuck on minor disagreements and work to build and develop the country.” The four major parties also agreed to incorporate in the citizenship clause the provision of allowing children to acquire citizenship certificate in the name of either father or mother, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Development and Federal Affairs Prakash Man Singh. Prime Minister Koirala and top leaders of Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and Madhesi People's Rights Forum-Democratic (MPRF-D) were present during the meeting. However, UCPN-M and MPRF-D, signed the deal with some reservations. “Although we have some reservations in certain clauses of the proposed constitution, we will fully abide by the agreement,” Dinanath Sharma, spokesperson of the UCPN-M said.

Meanwhile, chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) KP Sharma Oli said the errors on the draft constitution would be corrected, reports Ekantipur.com. During a discussion with Constituent Assembly (CA) members of the party from Tharu and Madhesi communities on August 12, Chairman Oli said feedback on the draft constitution and the proposed six provinces are diverse, so time has come for the leaderships to handle these with extreme care. Stilling the grudges of the Tharu and Madhesi CA members from the party, Chairman Oli said, "There is not only UML but 598 CA members in the CA. So, you need to understand the fact that they too should be taken into confidence while bringing the constitution."

Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda said that no one could stop the new Constitution from being promulgated at this point of time, reports Ekantipur.com. He said that the issuance of the Constitution is ensured and that they have taken such courage to that effect. "Such consultations on the process to write the constitution have never taken place in the history. I urged all to provide creative and positive support in the promulgation of the new constitution," said the UCPN-M chief, addressing the Legislature-Parliament meeting on August 13. Dahal said that the Constituent Assembly (CA) was the main platform for ensuring the rights of suppressed groups and that it stands in favour of the people. He added that only those being against change would go against the CA.

Life in Rautahat and Bara Districts was also hit hard due to the bandh (general shut down strike) on August 16. Dozens of vehicles vandalized and 117 bandh enforcers were arrested in Kathmandu. The bandh enforced by the 33-party alliance led by the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) on August 16, added to the hardship of people across the country. Nepal Police said it arrested 117 protestors from across the country for hooliganism. Police arrested 98 protestors from Kathmandu, eight from Lalitpur, three from Kaski, three from Morang, one from Jhapa and four from Makwanpur. The protestors vandalized two taxis and two buses at various places in the capital.

Separately, after the six-province model agreed upon by four parties – the Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik (MJF-L) – kicked up a controversy, the leaders of the parties have begun discussion on changing the number of provinces, reports The Himalayan Times. Ruling NC and CPN-UML have proposed five- and seven-province models, sources said. The debate on federal model took a new turn on August 16, following continuous protests in several Districts with protesters seeking to review the six-province model. “We held a positive discussion to address the people’s concerns on demarcation. If necessary, we will have to change the number of provinces,” said UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda after a meeting of the Special Committee of Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) held in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu. “NC and UML proposed a five-province model. But we suggested to keep the six-province model and address the concerns of people in Tharu dominant areas and Karnali,” said UCPN-M leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha. The leaders have almost agreed to carve out Karnali special zone, he added. A member of task force of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC), Aindra Sundar Nembang, said the task force had almost completed its work to prepare final “Reviewed Bill” of the new constitution and efforts were on to resolve the contentious issues. The CDC is mandated to complete its task tomorrow (August 17).

Meanwhile, the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) missed its deadline to present a revised draft of the new Constitution as top leaders of major political parties failed to reach consensus on disputes of the Constitution including demarcation of federal units, reports The Himalayan Times. The Constituent Assembly (CA) meeting on August 12 had assigned the panel to finalise the draft of the constitution by today by incorporating feedback collected from the public on the first draft and latest agreements reached at the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC). “As the Committee could not complete its tasks and reach a consensus,” CDC Chairman Krishna Prasad Sitaula told mediapersons after the CDC meeting on August 17, “It is now impossible to present the revised draft to the Constituent Assembly today.” The CDC apparently could not meet the deadline as the leaders are under pressure to redo demarcation of federal units as the six-Pradesh model proposed by the CPDCC drew violent protests in various parts of the nation. In the interim, top leaders of major four political forces – Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik (MJF-L) – are further discussing the demarcation issue at the Special Committee formed by the CPDCC.

Meanwhile, the Tharu Lawmakers’ Unified Struggle Committee (TLUSC), Tharu Karlyankari Sabha and the Tharuhat Joint Struggle Committee on August 17 announced additional protest programmes to press their demand for a Tharuhat/Tharuwan province, reports Ekantipur.com. Organising a press conference at Singha Durbar in Kathmandu on August 17, Tharu leaders from across the political line announced their decision to enforce a general strike in 22 Tarai Districts for four more days starting on August 18 (today). The TLUSC, an alliance of 32 Tharu lawmakers from the ruling Nepali Congress (NC), Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and fringe parties, have also started discussion with Tharu lawmakers in the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) about the protest. Tharu Karlyankari Sabha, the umbrella organisation of Tharus, and Tharuhat Joint Struggle Committee, an alliance of Tharu NGOs, have been leading the protest on the ground. “We have decided to continue the shutdown as the four parties are turning a deaf ear to our demands,” said Raj Kumar Lekhi. Earlier, Tharu communities had enforced a four-day bandh (general shut down strike) in the Tarai from August 12 to August 15.

Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) Vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha said on August 17, that his party would not accept five-province model, reports The Himalayan Times. “There is no chance that we will accept five-province model that is carved keeping in mind the existing five development regions. Rather, the number of provinces may increase from the proposed six,” Shrestha said organising a press meet in Singha Durbar. He added that there had been no any agreement regarding removing the term secularism from the draft Constitution as was rumoured in media. As Karnali is the most poverty-stricken region and Tharus are the most oppressed community, their concerns should be addressed, he said. The concerns of people of Surkhet should also be addressed, he added.

Meanwhile, the meeting of Special Committee under the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) on August 19 could not produce any result on demarcation of states in the proposed federal set-up, reports The Himalayan Times. Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) Vice-Chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the meeting could not decide on the number of provinces as Nepali Congress (NC) President, also the PM, Sushil Koirala, was not ready to accept either of the options presented by them. UCPN-M, at the meeting, had presented a proposal to adopt the seven-province model, which the ruling NC and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) had jointly put forth in early November last year, according to Shrestha. “But the Prime Minister walked out of the meeting arguing that his party leaders made him sign on various documents,” Shrestha added. Otherwise, “Sher Bahadur Deuba, Bijay Kumar Gachhadar and UML [CPN-UML] leaders have responded to the proposal positively,” Shrestha said. After the PM’s walk-out, UCPN-M and NC leaders discussed next steps. Shrestha informed that NC leaders have said to talk with the PM on August 20 (today), before holding inter-party talks again.

In addition, top leaders of major political parties urged leaders from the agitating Madhes-based political parties and other disgruntled groups to resolve differences through talks and compromise with political forces represented in the CA, reports Myrepublica.com. Addressing the CA meeting on August 26, chiefs of major political parties, maintained that differences can be resolved through dialogue as Constitution itself is a document of compromise among political forces. Hinting at the boycott of the CA meeting by three Madhes-based political parties, they said any solution can't be found by avoiding talks. For some weeks, lawmakers from the Federal Socialist Party Nepal (FSPN), TMDP and Tarai Madhes Shadbhavana Party (TMSP) have been walking out of the CA meeting after allowing a representative to air their views in a show of protest against the proposed provincial boundaries. PM Koirala, who is also the president of Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) Chairman KP Oli, Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda and Madhesi People's Right Forum Democratic (MPRF-D) Chairman Bijay Gachchhadar reiterated that it was still possible to incorporate the concerns of various agitating sides in the new constitution.

Separately, in the wake of the violence in different parts of the country over the delineation of federal provinces, the government has sent a formal letter to various agitating groups, including Madhes-based parties and Tharuhat supporters, calling on them to come forward for talks, reports Myrepublica.com. According to the Prime Minister's Press Advisor Prateek Pradhan, the government has appealed to all agitating parties to share the historic responsibility of drafting the new statute.

"The letters will be delivered to the leaders of the agitating Madhes-based parties and Tharuhat leaders by tomorrow," Pradhan told Republica late on August 26, evening.
