The government on Wednesday gave its permission to CoAS Gurung to receive the title of Honorary General of the Indian Army.

He will inspect UN Peacekeeping and Defense Research and Development Organization and other key Indian military installations.

Meanwhile, in a message to Army personnel on the eve of the International Human Rights Day on Wednesday, CoAS Gurung denied there is any impunity in the Nepal Army and directed army personnel to duly apply the human rights knowledge they received during training.

He said the message that there is no impunity in the NA has already reached national and international level as the army personnel involved in human rights violations during the insurgency period have already been punished as per law.

The Army chief also claimed that Nepal Army doesn't tolerate rights abuse. nepalnews.com

thwangi  - Behold country men Nepal is Becoming second Sikkim   |75.17.63.xxx |2009-12-10 22:49:30 When sikkim was annexed in 1975 by india, then king of sikkim was Major general of india too, this is just another step of enslaving our country .. Indian expansionist have always dreamed to annex our motherland to their country since The Brits Left. He who accepts honor from india will be sooner or later puppet of indian bureaucrats like todays pervert politicains. Pashhim bata hamro seema wara sardaicha purba batta nepali ko basti uthdaicha lamka nawajawan lamka nawajawan khukuri ra banduk boki chamka naujawan lets work hard jay bharat mata   |173.75.25.xxx |2009-12-10 21:04:19 lets work together to make nepal one of the india's state trust me we will have the best future than any other state of india we all will feel proud to say ourself as indian see the whole world every big and small nation respects indians and rt nw they can see world's smartest people -dr manmohan singh so feel roud to be indian jay bharat mata vikram lama  - Gurung don't get afraid Gorkhas soldiers are with   |82.224.170.xxx |2009-12-10 17:52:16 Certainly it's a great great honor for the CoAs Gurung.During your official visit to India, probably Indians can put pressure on you to do favour on behalf of them. Certainly Nepal is bound by the law of SAARC, and definitely Nepal will not allow to use it's land to use against our loving neighbour India by any terrorists, or ISI agents. Certainly his visit will ended up in a warm, cordial and mutual understanding, because it's good health for both of us. I personally think our chief must raise the issue of Indian encroachments of Nepalese borders, and also provoking unrest in Terai to destabalise Nepal. If so Nepal can also provoke the Nepalese residing in INDIA, or the Gorkha soldiers since ages and ages to create their own ideny state like Telanga. Citizen  - Gurung's been handcuffed.   |199.68.24.xxx |2009-12-10 17:11:20 Another smart move by India. It is basically putting handcuff on Gurung's hand so that they can fly their Supersonic fighter in our territory, carry out their activities across the border through their BSF, move the piller (Kila) more inside the Nepal's territory. Invade another strategically important land in western Nepal (FYI, like Kala-Pani). Wake up idiot Nepalese! Don't be disloyal to your motherland. I love my motherland and ready to take bullet for it, do something like that. Cowboys   |199.227.221.xxx |2009-12-10 13:27:01 It's just a the le of Honorary General of Indian Army on CoAS.Nothing big deal on this .May be lost of ppl don't know about this...It's a tradition of Both the Army. Balabhadra  - Don't accept it Chief Gurung, DON'T   |115.64.201.xxx |2009-12-10 08:28:46 Just simply REFUSE this honour Mr Gurung ji. For the sake of your mother Nepal. Please JUST DON"T ACCEPT THIS TAKMA. Its no use. Tell that you are not enled to be a General of Indian Army while seiving for Nepali Army; and so won't accept it, thank you!! That's it Bujnubho? Raute  - DANGER AHEAD   |115.64.201.xxx |2009-12-10 08:14:40 This is just another diplomatic attempt to capture Nepal. First by influencing Army Chief through such measures, and finally by using other means, including by encouraging Nepal to do the same to Indian ARmy chief, and then using this as a real award of General position to capture Nepal in future. So, beware of the conspiracy ahead. Dika  - Dont' be fooled by this to do the same to Indian A   |115.64.201.xxx |2009-12-10 08:10:09 In an unequal relationship, this can be very dangerous. As India has a terrible recurrent history to use different means to put pressure and to kneel Nepal on its knee when in crucial important times for NEpal. So, be careful Gurung sap, BE CAREFUL. Truely I am telling from the core of my heart, if you reciprocate with similar move, this can be used by the Kidney Smuglers to downsize and over power in crucial times in future. SO BE CAREFUL NOT TO RECIPROCATE THE SAME TO INDIA> Jamuna  - ???   |202.52.237.xxx |2009-12-10 05:16:22 What kind of le is this? Is it a real honor or to make a life long slave of a person in the name of HONOR.?? marko   |147.91.1.xxx |2009-12-10 04:01:49 I have also visited to DRDO (Defense) research laboratory in India to meet a professor while doing M.Sc I suggest the head of Army of Nepal to establish science laboratory in Nepal as a strategy to bring scientific revolution in country. As without science research, Army could do nothing much more on its own !
