The Nepal Government has decided to make a call to the Federal Alliance, a bloc of parties protesting the Constitution.

The decision to this effect was made during a meeting of the Council of Ministers on Friday afternoon, reports The Himalayan Times.

The government would show utmost flexibility in the talks with protesting parties

The Alliance has been organising a Kathmandu-centric protest demanding rewriting of the Constitution.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa had invited the protesting United Democratic Madhesi Front for talks.

The UDMF, however, responded to the government's invitation claiming that talks under the present circumstances were irrelevant.

Meanwhile, the government also decided to extend a support of USD 1,00,000 to victims of recent floods in Sri Lanka.
