49% Seats For Terai In Constituent Assembly Is A Fair Deal

49pc seats for terai in CA Kantipur the 20 districts in the southern strip with 48.4 percent of the country's population will get 49 percent seats in the Constituent Assembly, while 51 percent seats will be divided among the 55 hilly and Himalayan districts that have 51.6 percent of the population. ...... all the groups in the country including Madhesi, dalits, janajatis, women, laborers, peasants and backward classes and regions will be included in the state organs on the basis of the principle of proportional inclusion.

I am only now reading this. The NepalNews report I read hours ago was not this specific.

Eight parties seal the deal; PM urges protesters to withdraw agitation NepalNews

It is now okay to call the Madhesi Movement off the streets.

The Home Minister did not resign and that is a shame.

But the martyrs have been recognized as such by the state. And their families are to be compensated. And the injured will be similarly taken care of both by the state and through civil society initiatives.

Federalism has been achieved in principle, but not in specifics. It is good that the constituent assembly will shape the federalism. It has to be shaped through major deliberation, not through street action.

Getting half the seats for the Terai is a huge achievement.

This does not mean the Madhesi Movement is over. This means the Madhesi Movement can now get off the streets.

I think now the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum faces a major question. Should it continue as a political organization? Or should it become a political party?

But this 49% seats in the Terai is such a fair deal that now that question is less important. Now all parties are going to compete for the Madhesi votes and that is the way it should be. That is how the Madhesis will be best served.

I am so happy right now.
