A central working committee (CWC) meeting of the party in Kathmandu concluded that only empowered federal states and strong center can help shore up a federal democratic republican set up in the country.[break]
The meeting also alleged that political parties were trying to impose defunct model of federal structure by proposing small federal states running north-south.
The TMDP criticized the UCPN (Maoist) for unilaterally declaring autonomous states against the spirit of the interim constitution and the mandate of an elected Constituent Assembly.
The TMDP also alleged that the main parties were focusing on power-sharing rather than honestly working toward drafting new constitution.
The party said the high-level political mechanism should be formed by the Constituent Assembly or Constitutional Committee based on consensus rather than through unilateral decision of the three big parties.
The party also urged the government to honestly hold dialogue with the agitating armed groups in the Tarai to address their genuine political demands.
