Acting Prime Minister and Chairman of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Loktantrik) Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar has said the recently formed high level political mechanism will settle federal state demarcation row to address grievances of the agitating Madhes-based parties.

Talking to reporters at Biratnagar Airport on Monday, Gachhadar said the political mechanism would be given a full shape after Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli returns from his India visit. He expressed hope that the political mechanism would sort out the disputes regarding the state demarcation within three months.

Assuring that the mechanism will have the ownership of ruling, opposition and agitating parties, Gachhadar urged the protesting Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha not to question its effectiveness. The number of federal states and their delimitation could be changed while revising the state by the mechanism, he said, adding that the constitution amendments ensured the rights of various ethnic groups in the country.
