Dec 21, 2015- The Indian government has welcomed the decisions taken by Nepal’s Cabinet on Sunday to address and resolve demands regarding the Constitution raised by agitating Madhes-based parties.

In a statement on Monday, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) hailed “the decisions as positive steps that help create the basis for a resolution of the current impasse in Nepal”.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was informed by Nepal’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Kamal Thapa that Nepal’s Cabinet has taken some important decisions to address the demands of Madhes-centric parties, the statement said.

“These decisions include amendments to the Constitution on participation in the state organs on the basis of proportionate inclusiveness and delineation of electoral constituencies on the basis of population. The demarcation of provinces is also to be addressed through an appropriate arrangement in the Constitution on the basis of political consensus. Similarly, other demands including citizenship are to be resolved through negotiations and consensus,” read the statement as informed by DPM Thapa.
