Forty-three Madhesi lawmakers from Nepali Congress have advised the party to put forth the amendment proposal for the constitution Bill to carve three states in Tarai. 

“We have suggested the Parliamentary Party office and Prime Minister Sushil Koirala to amend the constitution Bill as per the party directions. We believe that the party will take our suggestions during amendment process of the constitution Bill,” said lawmaker Ram Krishna Yadav.

Nepali Congress had directed the lawmakers to submit the amendment proposal to the Parliamentary Party office instead of directly submitting it to the Bill department of Constituent Assembly. 

However, NC leader Shekhar Koirala had directly registered his amendment proposal at the Bill department, defying the party direction.
