KATHMANDU: Leader of the Alliance for Independent Madhesh (AIM), CK Raut has called a national council meeting of his organization today.

The meeting is meant for discussing the 11-point agreement the leader inked with the government on March 8 and to chart AIM’s future course.

The two day meeting takes place at Lahan, the headquarters of Siraha district. Raut has announced the meeting venue and dates on social media.

In the message posted on social media, Raut has asked all AIM national council members to be present with their citizenship certificates.

The message reads that Raut feels sorry as the meeting was unable to incorporate the entire members of AIM. However, a meeting of all AIM members shall take place following this meet, reads the message.

The meeting is meaningful given the controversy surrounding the debate on the wording of the agreement. While the Raut side claims that the agreement mentions of a referendum, the government refutes the claim.
