The Prime Minister agreed on amending the Interim Constitution and the ordinance to give the Tharus and other indigenous ethnic groups a separate identity following the procedural process.
Some Tharus said that they would stick to the demand for calling all Tarai as the Tarai area and not to make Tarai-madheshi. They did not recognize the Madheshi for the Tarai. They would continue to fight for the whole southern belt as a Tarai area through the constitutional crafting process in the Constituent Assembly.
