JANAKPURDHAM, Jan 20: It has been 17 years since the Madhesh movement heated up, raising the issue of identity and federalism for an inclusive state system. The Madhesi Janadhikar Forum at that time made waves in the Terai-Madhesh, believing that the political system adopted on the foundation of the people's movement was incomplete and neglected the Madhesi people. The Madhesh movement intensified with the promulgation of the interim constitution on January 15, 2007.
The 6th Sacrifice Day is being marked in Madhes Province today commemorating the completion of 17 years of Madhes Movement happened for the cause of federalism and inclusion.
