Nepal’s former prime minister and president of Nepali Congress (Democratic) Sher Bahadur Deuba has expressed the necessity to bring forward the backward classes including ethnic communities, women and Dalits, nepalnews.com reports. Speaking today in the far western Terai town, Nepalganj, he assured the backward communities that his party will add its voices to their demands for betterment. He claimed that his party has already decided to allocate 40 percent reservation to ethnic communities, women and backward classes.

Nepali Congress (Democratic) is convinced for bringing forward Dalits. However, the party outrageously failed to nominate even a single member of interim parliament from Dalit community. All six seats allocated to the party for nominating members from civic society, Janajatis, women and Dalits are used up in satisfying the party’s senior leaders. The nepaldalitinfo calls for rectification of this unfortunate mistake at once.
