A delegation of the Sanghiya Gathabandhan, which comprises 29 parties, delivered the ultimatum during a meeting with Prachanda. “We request for registering the Constitution amendment bill within 15 days from today based on our approval as well,” the Sanghiya Gathabandhan said in its memorandum. The Janajati and Madhesi parties said no progress had been made in addressing their demands since the Prachanda-led government assumed office three months ago. Though there were divergent views among the Madhesi parties about serving the ultimatum, they are standing firm on the demand that the government should address their grievances. The Madhesi parties in the Sanghiya Gathabandhan have organised protests over their demands, including the demarcation of the provincial borders, citizenship and proportional representation based on population.
