To: Girija, And The Pahadi Parties
Step 1: Krishna Sitaula resign. Declare all those who have died during the course of the Madhesi Movement martyrs.
Step 2: Declare there will be 205 constituencies of equal population.
Step 3: Declare federalism now. If all eight parties are for it, why wait three and a half years to get it? Adopt the Maoist map. Now. Declare a republic. Now.
Step 4: Declare all Madhesis will be issued citizenship papers before the constituent assembly elections. There will be no cap at 33 lakh. The estimated number is more like 60 lakh.
Step 5: Organize a fair census before the constituent assembly elections. It will be a first in Nepal's history. Allow people to register three primary identities. One, male female. Two, Madhesi, Janajati, Dalit, etc. Three, caste and subcaste based, etc.
To: The Madhesi Movement
(1) Stick to these five basic demands. Do not budge. No talks unless these demands are met.
(2) Stick to non-violence. This is not a Pahadi-Madhesi ethnic riot. This is a non-violent movement for Madhesi equality. The struggle is with the state, and it is agenda-based. Invite progressive Pahadis to join the movement. Invite the Janajati to join. Keep the country shut down unless these demands are met.
(3) If there is brutal police/military repression, the agenda of a separate country can legitimately appear and we can attain it nonviolently. But otherwise we do not want to become a separate country. The world is moving towards political and economic integration, towards globalization. Why would we go in the other direction?
(4) Turn Madhesi Janadhikar Forum into a political party now. Expand organizationally into all wards in all towns, into all villages in the Madhesh. Turn it into the largest party in the Madhesh. All Madhesis who are now in the Pahadi parties should abandon those parties and join this new party. Call it Janata Dal. Expand ad hoc now. We will host the first convention after the Madhesi Movement attains victory.
(5) Let's become our own media. We need to get the world community on our side. We need to put a ton of photos online, and we need to put a ton of video online. Expose all acts of police brutality. Use Flickr, use YouTube. Tag: madhesi. Do it in all Terai towns. Document all street action.
राजावादी, सामन्तवादी भनेको बाहुनवाद हो, िहन्दु कट्टरपन्थी भनेको बाहुनवाद हो।
पिवत्र मधेशी अान्दोलनलाई बाहुनहरूले राजावादी चालखेल, िहन्दु कट्टरपन्थी चालखेल भन्िदएका छन्। यो त उल्टे चोर कोतवालको डाँटे भने जस्तो हो। सामन्तवादको इितहास केही सय वर्षको हो। शाहहरू राजस्थानबाट भागेर अाएको कित नै भएको छ र? तर बाहुनवाद भनेको त दश हजार वर्ष पुरानो रोग हो। बाहुनवाद भनेको सामन्तवादको बाप हो।
मैले अिहलेसम्म िजन्दगी भर पर्खेर बसेको यसै मधेशी अान्दोलनलाई हो। िजसका मुझे था इन्तजार, वो घडी अा गयी, अा गयी, अा गयी।

We are ready for talks: MPRF Kantipur Chairman of the Madeshi Peoples' Rights Forum (MPRF) Upendra Yadav said the forum is ready to sit for dialogue with the government. .... he said protests in the Terai region would continue until the government prepares proper environment for them to sit for dialogue. ..... their demands of federal republic, proportional representation on the basis of population, the Terai as an autonomous region haven't yet been addressed ....... An emergency meeting of the forum today evening also condemned the recent attack on journalists during protests in the Terai region. "I appeal to all Madeshi brothers to maintain restraint, and stop targeting journalists," he said. "We will continue our peaceful protests." ....... the indigenous groups took the PM's call for dialogue positively, but said the remarks couldn't address the real issues of the indigenous, Dalit and marginalized people. .... "We had demanded guarantee of our representation in the interim constitution," said Pasang Sherpa, chairman of Nepal Indigenous Nationalities' Federation. ...... Nepal Sadbhawana Party (Anandi Devi) charged that the PM's address came out without its consent. The party has called its national task-force committee to make public tomorrow, its position regarding the PM's address. ..... Nepal Sadbhawana Party, one of the protesting parties, has also taken the PM's call for dialogue quite positively. But, the party, in a statement issued today said the address didn't tackle issues of the Terai people "As the Terai communities were demanding amendment in the interim constitution by including federal state structure, special national census and structure of constituencies on the basis of population, the PM's address hasn't clearly addressed them ...... Madhesi National Liberation Front (MNLF), a Terai front of the CPN-Maoist, led by its central member Matrika Prasad Yadav, however strongly condemned the PM's address and said it decided to launch protest programs from today. ....... "The PM couldn't scientifically address the genuine demands of the Madhesi communities rather it stoked the movement ...... We want the declaration of federal structure of republic, proportional representation on the basis of population ..... CPN-UML said the PM's address has rightfully addressed the issues raised by the Madhesi communities.
