The protesting United Democratic Madhesi Front on Wednesday announced fresh protest programmes including signature campaigns and protest assemblies. The Front comprising seven Madhes-based parties has been staging protests for last five months arguing that the new Constitution did not address their concerns. According to a statement issued by the Front today, the two-day meeting of the Front decided to continue new protest programmes. The Front said it would hold assemblies in district headquarters from March 8 to 14. The Front cadres would chant slogans against the government on March 18 in the district headquarters. They would burn an effigy of members of the then Constituent Assembly in a symbolic protest on March 20. Meanwhile, the Front objected to the recommendation for justices of the Supreme Court made by the Judicial Council yesterday claiming it violated the principle of proportional inclusion.
