UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal met leaders of the agitating Madhes-based political parties on Tuesday.

The issue of demarcation and the ongoing Tarai protests were discussed in the informal meeting at a house in Maitighar, Kathmandu.

Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum Chairman Upendra Yadav, Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party Chairman Mahantha Thakur, Tarai Madhes Sadhbhavana Party Chairman Mahendra Raya Yadav and Sadhbhavana Party Vice Chairman Laxman Lal Karn were present in the meeting.

Dahal, who also chairs the High Level Political Committee, will meet Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday, said Dahal’s personal aide Chudamani Khadka.

Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum Chairman Yadav said there were no concrete discussions during the meeting with the Maoist boss. “It was a long informal talk but could not reach a conclusion,” said Yadav.
