After a long lingered dispute, Nepal government has decided to amend the new Constitution to address two key demands of agitating Madhesis regarding proportional representation and constituency delimitation, a move that has been welcomed by India.
"Government of India welcomes these developments as positive steps that help create the basis for a resolution of the current impasse in Nepal," the external affairs ministry said on Monday reacting to the developments.
"We urge all Nepali political forces to now demonstrate necessary maturity, flexibility to find a satisfactory solution to the Constitutional issues through constructive dialogue in an agreed timeframe," the MEA said.
Nepal government took the decision at an emergency cabinet meeting held at Singha Durbar here on Sunday night.
The meeting also agreed to set up a political mechanism to recommend solutions to disputes over the proposed provincial boundaries within three months of its formation.
