The Madhesi leaders in Nepal have warned to launch an aggressive protest in the Madhes region in the aftermath of the Saptari incident where four protesters were killed in police firing.

The killing by Nepal's Armed Police force (APF) has anguished the Madheshi agitators, who have already blocked the Indo-Nepal trade borders at Birgunj, Virat Nagar and many other areas adjoining India where they are protesting against the newly adopted Constitution of Nepal.

The Sanukt Madeshi Morcha forum decided to kick start an aggressive protest against the Nepal Government after a meeting with the leaders.

"Madhesi will enhance the blockade at Indo-Nepal border and launch more protests against the Government institutions in the Madhes region," Madheshi Jan Adhikar Forum Nepal party leader Sunita Shah told ANI in an exclusive interview.

 

Many Madhesi protestors are still sitting at No Man's Land between India and Nepal at Birgunj and other parts of south east and south west Nepal that caused many problems in the country.

The blocked has cut down the supply line of Nepal.
