Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala today said the Madhes agitation would be resolved soon as as parties are engaged in serious talks to find a solution. “A solution to Madhes agitation would be found out soon. We can reach consensus by agreeing to settle the issue of provincial boundaries within three months,” Koirala said at an interaction organised by the Reporters’ Club at his residence in Maharajgunj today. Stating that amendment to the new constitution was only solution to the problem, Koirala said, “The constitution is a document of compromise and it can be improved through consensus.” He also said that neglect of the issues raised by the Madhes-based parties would not be acceptable to his party . “Madhes has played an important role in all democratic movements. So, each side should understand the complications faced by the other,” he said, adding that NC was serious about the 11-point demand of the agitating Madhes-based parties. “Madhes-based parties are skeptical if the consensus so reached would not be violated. But I have clearly told them that NC has never stepped back after forging consensus.”
