Parties have already reached agreement on army integration: NA chief
The chief of the Nepal Army (NA) General Rookmangud Katawal has said that
the political parties have already reached agreement on army integration.
"The parties have already reached agreement. Debates and discussions
are a part of democratic exercise," he told reporters when asked
about his comment on the army integration.
As per the peace pact and other understandings among the parties, the army
integration will be carried out through a special cabinet committee, which
has not yet been formed.
Different party leaders have differently interpreted the understandings.
Parties other than the Maoists have ruled out the "wholesale"
integration of Maoist combatants into the national army.
They have said that only those combatants meeting the army standards
should be integrated into NA.
Meanwhile, General Katawal said that NA will abide by the law formulated
by representatives elected by Nepalese people. nepalnews.com sd Oct 15 08
