The Federal Alliance organized an interaction program in Kathmandu on Monday and discussed a concept on launching a nationwide protest programs to settle the disputed issues of the newly promulgated constitution. There are 24 parties in the alliance, including the parties under the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) and other fringe parties. Federal Socialist Forum Nepal (FSFN) Chairman Upendra Yadav urged all the ethnic and indigenous communities to participate in the mass movement once more. "The constitution is discriminatory and it does not address the feelings of Madhesi, indigenous and ethnic communities," said Yadav. "Thus, it is necessary for all ethnic communities from Madhes to mountains to participate in the next uprising," he added.Yadav fiercely criticized the government and alleged that black-marketers are running the economy of the country. "The earthquake victims are yet to get shelters. The assistance received is not being properly utilized. Black-marketers are damaging the economy. Petrol and cooking gas are being supplied in the country but general public are yet to get them easily. The government is blocking the supply to benefit the black-marketers," said Yadav.
