TGW - Any elections conducted at this juncture by the Pahade ruling State structure would be an act of sheer farce and deceit to the agitating Madhesi groups, says the Jwala Singh faction of the Madhesi armed outfit currently operating in Terai.

Jwala Singh, the President of the Jwala faction, has appealed, through a press statement issued Friday January 5, 08, all the Madhesi citizens to boycott such an election.

He, however, has demanded that a sort of round table conference be arranged first wherein all the Fronts, Parties and factions led by Madhesi leaders participate and later demand a separate “interim government” for the conduct of the Constituent Assembly polls.

“If the State prefers to conduct the CA polls in Terai/Madhesh with the support of the military and weapons, the state must remain prepared to shoulder the consequences arising thereafter”, adds the press statement signed by Jwala Singh.
