Kathmandu, August 29, 2008- After Limbu indigenous peoples of eastern Nepal formed their common political front, Magars of western region of Nepal hailing from different political background and social organizations have reached an agreement to form a coalition for establishing the Magarant Autonomous State, thus ensuring Magar indigenous peoples’ rights in the new constitution.

In an interaction program organized by Nepal Magar Autonomous Association (NMAA) on “Common Issues and Common Magar Front”, the leaders of Magar community reached the agreement which will establish a common front.

Senior Vice-President of NMAA and CPN (United) Lila Bahadur Thapa Magar presented the concept paper on the issue which focused on the need for Magar leaders to raise their joint voice for ensuring Magar indigenous peoples’ issues in the new constitution.

Commenting on the concept paper Sarun Batha Magar, General Secretary of Magar National Liberation Front, the sister organization of CPN Maoists, said, “It is not possible for only one organization to ensure our rights and establish the Magarant Autonomous State so it is necessary for us to work together forming a front.”

President of Nepal Democratic Magar Association, CPN (UML) and also Constituent Assembly member Dal Bahadur Rana Magar said, “Without Common mechanism it is impossible for the establishment of Magarant Autonomous State so we have to move forward together with common agendas."

Jhak Bahadur Thapa Magar, President of Nepal Magar Association (NMA), a common social organization of Magar community said, “NMA will take the initiative in creating the common mechanism.”

President of NMAA, CPN (United) Chitra Bahadur Ale Magar urged that NMAA has taken the initiative but it is not enough, so it is a must for all Magar leaders to come up with the concrete concept on how jointly they can play an effective role in establishing the Magarant and ensuring Magar indigenous peoples’ issues will be addressed in the new constitution.

President of the Nepal National Magar Association (NNMA), the sister organization of Nepali Congress (NC), Ganesh Bahadur Thapa Magar expressed that though Magar leaders may have different political ideology they should have common agendas and voice on Magar indigenous peoples’ rights and issues.

They have agreed to identify common issues of Magar community and establish common political front after they discuss the issue in their respective organizations before meeting again on September 5th for further discussion.
