Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Agni Kharel, has said that the government was ready to address the demands of Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha by amending the new constitution. 

Minister Kharel said so at a press meet organised by the Press Chautari Nepal here today. Also the politburo member of the CPNM-UML, Mr Kharel said that although it was not a problem to his party and the government to amend the new constitution, it was important to see whether was the solution. 

He said, "Though the government is ready to address the demands of Madhesi Morcha through amendment of new constitution, Morcha is not serious for the discussion." 

Stating that the agitation launched by the Morcha from the streets and border points would not give any solution, the Law Minister urged the Morcha to believe that demands would be fulfilled through the medium of dialogue and discussion. 

Meanwhile, Minister Kharel laid the stone foundation of a police post at Gauradaha-7 in Jhapa district today itself. Laying the stone foundation, he said that the government was committed to maintaining peace, law and order. 

On the occasion, locals—Gopal Dorjee Lama and Bharati Lama were honoured for providing five kattha land free of cost for the police post. RSS
