The Nepali Congress has pledged to advance the leadership and representation of indigenous peoples within the party and government structures. Party Vice-President Pushpa Bhusal stated that the constitution's principles of proportional inclusion and diversity necessitate addressing the exclusion of indigenous communities. The party is also considering constitutional amendments to further these rights.

  • Nepali Congress Vice-President Pushpa Bhusal received a position paper from the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities at the party headquarters.
  • Bhusal emphasized that excluding indigenous peoples makes the definition of Nepal's state and societal structure incomplete.
  • The party intends to prioritize the acceptance of indigenous leadership, not just representation, in line with constitutional provisions.
  • The commitment comes as the Nepali Congress prepares to form a clear perspective on constitutional amendment issues.
  • Federation representatives urged political parties and the government to seriously address their long-standing concerns.
