Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum Nepal Chairman Upendra Yadav said it was time for people's revolution after the government refused to heed to their peaceful protests and instead went on a killing spree of innocent citizens.

Addressing a mass assembly in Saptari district on Sunday, Yadav blamed the government of suppressing the demands of Madhesi people to amend the constitution. "We have given opportunity to the government. Let's mend the shortcomings in the constitution. This is a peaceful and democratic way," said Yadav.

He warned of dissolving the current constitution and writing a new one through people's movement if the demands of Madhesi peoples were not addressed.

Yadav dubbed the killings during peaceful protests as a cowardly act of the government and said it would not stop their protests.

Other Madhesi leaders addressing the assembly stressed on the need to forge unity among Madhes-based parties.
