Sadbhawana Party (SP) Chairperson Rajendra Mahato on August 1 said that United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) is ready to lend external support to the upcoming Government led by Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Center)Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal provided there is a written agreement to fulfill its twin conditions, reports The Himalayan Times. The SP chief sought martyrs’ status for those deceased during the Madhes agitation, free treatment for the injured, withdrawal of ‘fake’ cases, as well as formation of a judicial commission and waiver of interest on bank loans for businesspersons and entrepreneurs for the months-long agitation. “The aforementioned is our first condition. Along with this, if the concerned parties make a written pledge to forward a proposal for amendment of the statute to address our demands regarding review of provincial boundary, citizenship issues and the agenda of representation, we can think of supporting the government, albeit from outside,” said Mahato.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Chairman Surya Kiran Gurung said that hundreds of conflict-era cases are likely to be shelved without conducting any inquiry, reports The Himalayan Times on August 11. He said that the TRC has finalized a procedure to select war-era cases that can be put on hold on several grounds, including lack of evidences and inadequate details. Many serious rights violation complaints are unlikely to be examined, as the guideline states that the cases of rights violation within Maoist groups or Government-Security Forces won’t be considered for investigation. Likewise, cases that occurred before the beginning of Maoist insurgency on February 14, 1996, and after the conflict ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) on November 21, 2006, won’t be inquired. Even insurgency-era cases won’t be examined if these were not directly related to clashes between Maoist insurgents and Security Forces. Over 55,000 complaints about human rights violations during the Maoist insurgency have been lodged at the TRC that is categorizing which cases should be investigated and which should be disposed of.

Meanwhile, 23 NC District presidents during a meeting convened by NC leader Shekhar Koirala on on August 12 suggested to stand for holding interim local elections instead of clinging to the idea of conducting local polls only after the completion of restructuring of local bodies under the federal setup, reports Republica. They said that since the proposal of the commission on local bodies that 565 local units should be created is impractical and will require a lot more homework still, the party leadership should press for holding the local body elections for now on the basis of the existing local setup.

Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) member Bishnu Pathak said that CIEDP needs 10 years to complete task, reports The Himalayan Times on August 19. Pathak said “The government seems reluctant to give us the needed resources so that it can later blame us for not doing our job.” Pathak said CIEDP’s work was much more challenging, as 25 per cent of cases out of 2,846 complaints could require excavation at suspected sites. Digging out one site could take at least one month and DNA test of degenerated bones could take 69 months. He said the CIEDP would need at least 10 years to complete its assigned task.

Conflict victims on August 21 threatened to move court against the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) if it doesn’t revise a recently endorsed guideline regarding shelving probe into war-era cases, reports The Himalayan Times. Chairman of Conflict Victims’ Common Platform Suman Adhikari said “We have serious reservations against the TRC’s procedure on shelving probe into conflict-era rights violation cases.” The TRC on August 11 finalized a procedure to select the insurgency-era human rights violation cases that can be put on hold on several grounds, including lack of evidence and inadequate details. According to the provisions mentioned in the procedure, hundreds of conflict-era cases are likely to be shelved without the transitional justice mechanism conducting any inquiry.

Meanwhile, Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal (FSF-N) Chairperson Upendra Yadav speaking at a function organized to commemorate the martyrs of Madhes movement in Saptari District on August 21 argued that their agitation would continue until the disparity between the rulers and the ruled ended in the country, reports The Himalayan Times. Yadav said “The new constitution had curtailed the rights of Madhesis, Dalits, ethnic nationalities and Tharus, among other minorities. Hence, our agitation won’t end until those serious flaws in the constitution are rectified. The country will have to witness an unexpected situation if the ruling parties impose the constitution without amendment. We are patiently and honestly waiting for implementation of the agreement with the government. Hence, we wish the government will also act as per the agreement.”

Separately, CPN-Revolutionary Maoist Chairman Mohan Baidya on August 21 insisted the need for a radical change in the Constitution, reports The Himalayan Times. Baidya pointed out the fact that mere amendment and rewriting of the new Constitution would not be in the interest of the working class and Madhesi community. He added that the Madhes uprising fell short of reaching its set goal due to Madhes-centric party leaders’ lust for parliamentary posts and power rather than the interest of Madhes. Baidya further said his party was now preparing for a new uprising in the country.
