NORTH AMERICAN NETWORK FOR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF NEPAL (NANDRON)
North American Network for Democratic Republic of Nepal (NANDRON) is
deeply concerned over the violent situation in Terai and expresses
its solidarity with the common people of Terai, and renounces the
violence and infiltration of the regressive forces in peaceful
agitation launched by Madhesi people demanding their rightful place
in Nepal’s political system. It is obvious that regressive
monarchical forces are trying to reestablish themselves through
infiltration in the movement by jeopardizing the upcoming Constituent
Assembly Elections. We demand immediate isolation of the infiltrators
and opening up of dialogue with genuine leaders leading the Madhesi
movement.
NANDRON urges Nepal government to fulfill the genuine demands of
Terai communities and immediately declare Nepal as Democratic
Republic with Federal Governance System, paving way to the
Constituent Assembly’s election. We also demand the implementation of
the comprehensive peace agreement and announcement of the CA election
date immediately.
NANDRON supports inclusive and participatory governance through
proportional representation with equal participation of all
ethnicities in the affairs of state. At this historic juncture, when
it appears possible to build Nepal as a promised land for all, unity,
understanding and trust among all ethnicity, and linguistic groups,
are paramount. Let us vouch for the national integrity.
NANDRON demands the Rayamajhi Commission Report be made public and
fully implemented immediately as recommended by the Commission. We
would like to draw the attention of all the lawmakers in the interim
legislature that the Non-resident Nepalese be not deprived of voting
rights in this historic event of the Constituent Assembly’s election
for the establishment of a New Nepal.
The North American Network for Democratic Republic of Nepal (NANDRON)
is an advocacy and watchdog organization acting as a common forum for
all Nepali expatriates and friends of Nepal living in North America
with one of its primary objectives being advocacy and awareness
campaigns to help the political parties, civil society, and people of
Nepal pursuing for the establishment of a popular, inclusive and
representative democratic republican system in the country.
