Protests over the Constitution of 2015
Minority ethnic groups like Madhesi and Tharu have protested vigorously against the constitution which came into effect on September 20, 2015.[24] They point out that their concerns have not been addressed and there are few explicit protections for their ethnic groups in the document. At least 56 civilians and 11 police died in clashes over the draft constitution.[25] In response to the Madhesi protests, India suspended vital supplies to landlocked Nepal, citing insecurity and violence in border areas.[26] It has been alleged[by whom?] that India's denial of petroleum and medicine to Nepal constituted a violation of human rights.[27] Then Prime Minister of Nepal, Oli, publicly accused India for the Blockade calling the act more inhuman than war.[28] India has denied enacting the blockade.[29]
