The Nepalese government has reached a comprehensive agreement with Hindu campaign groups, committing to initiate cross-party and multi-stakeholder consultations regarding the restoration of Nepal as a Hindu nation within a three-month window.
Representing the administration, Dhanusha Chief District Officer Prem Prasad Luitel confirmed the pact, which outlines a framework for potential constitutional and political procedures following recent nationwide demonstrations.
Beyond the constitutional dialogue, the accord introduces strict public safety rules. Public displays of weapons during religious rallies, including Moharram, are now explicitly prohibited to preserve law, order, and interfaith harmony.
Noise controls are also being implemented across various places of worship, including mosques, madrasas, churches, and gumbas, restricting loudspeaker audio strictly within facility premises.
Furthermore, authorities will begin recording the identities of residents staying within religious institutions while elevating surveillance on foreign nationals linked to these locations.
The government has also agreed to evaluate the necessity and relevance of the Muslim Commission, opening the possibility of its dissolution if the review finds it unnecessary.
Financial transparency will be enforced through detailed audits of foreign funding received by religious institutions. Additionally, authorities plan to review the validity of Nepali citizenships granted post 2006-07 and enforce legal penalties against social media users attempting to disrupt communal peace.
