On the same occasion, coordinator of Medheshi People's Rights Forum (MPRF) Upendra yadav demanded an immediate end of security interferences to the madhesh movement. He also urged the government to make the arrangement of medical treatment to those injured in the medhesh movement.

Claiming that the rights to self decision was not to disintegrate the nation but for social inclusion, Yadav ruled out the holding of CA elections in such situation. Dissident Sadvawana Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato, however urged the government to solve the problem through dialogue.
