Madhesi activists and few agitating Madhesi groups have criticised the Madhesi Morchas for participating in the Prime Minister election. The agitated protestors burnt the effigies of some Madhesi leaders on Tuesday.

The activists vented their ire against the top leaders of Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha and Sanghiya Madhesi Morcha for participating in the PM election under the new constitution that was burnt by the Madhesi people time and again for their lack of ownership over it.

Mahakanta Thakur, affiliated to Madhes Jana Aandolan Struggle Committee, blamed the Madhesi leaders of voting for those leaders who had drafted a discriminatory constitution. “A UML minister was at in charge of Home Ministry when police killed forty Madhesi protestors. And yet our Madhesi leaders showed no sorrow in voting Sushil Koirala and KP Oli,” he said.
