The agreement came a month after deadly earthquakes devastated the country. This agreement surely came after the urgent need to stabilize the country for effective endeavors after leaders were heavily criticized for their inability to act quick for rescue and relief.
Dozens of small parties rejected the agreement saying that naming and making boundaries were too important a matter to be left out at this point. The heart of previous disputes lied in the disagreement of Maoist and Madhesh-based parties who insisted on naming the states on the basis of ethnicity. The disputes were also based on the disagreement in the number and boundaries of the federal states.
"The government will set up a federal commission to fix internal boundaries of the states," four major parties, including the Maoists, said in a statement.
"Any more haggling over the Constitution would further alienate politicians from the people who have lost everything in the earthquake," said Prakash Acharya, an editor with theHimalayan Times daily.
This quick response from political parties on a matter, disputed for as long as 5 years, is seen as an act of reestablishing faith in the common people of Nepal. People have been raising questions on the leaders and parties after witnessing their inability to handle the aftermath of the unexpected disaster.
