Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has said the government is serious about the rehabilitation and integration of the Maoist army.

Speaking at a programme marking the 12th death anniversary of communist leader Tulsi Lal Amatya, in the capital Saturday, PM Nepal said the government was aware of the fact that early integration of the Maoist army would mean early conclusion of the peace process.

According to him, disqualified combatants will be discharged from the cantonments in the first phase and the integration will be done in the next phase. He, however, did not explain the government's position over the procedures of the army integration.

Earlier, PM Nepal had courted controversy for saying in an interview to the Reuters news agency that some 4000 PLA men would be taken in the Nepal Army.

Nepal had later denied mentioning the number to the news agency after the ruling allies and some leaders of his UML party criticised him for what appeared to be a soft stance towards the Maoist demand for large scale integration.

Dispute over the leadership of the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) has been a setback for army integration.

Two major ruling allies- UML and Nepali Congress- want the Prime Minister to head the committee as before while the Maoists have been demanding that the AISC's composition (previously led by Maoist chairman and then Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal) must be kept intact. nepalnews.com

not bad thinking after all. May be he is trying to calm the Maoist. What's a big
deal about just discussing about presidential move. People throw the king who
was above the consuiton. Is the president above the discussion? It should be
discussed and finalized... everyone is avoiding the talk because apparantly
president has done some wrong, but what he did was good for them. Maoists are
after it because they are also seeking their own good, while holding the
discussion regarding the consution... Where is the good of people in general...

Yes, we all are Nepalsese citizen and we have right to join the Npalese
army.Only the question is that "why maoist is giving emphasis on Nepal army?
Why they can envolve in other job like border security, factories. Actually
maoist should get the oppertunity in their creative work not in Nepal Army. And
being a Nepalese citizen my view is: only maoist should not get this chance. It
is not a joke and without thinking we don't have to start any step because it is
a matter of National security.As you know the fact of Prachandas visual and his
ambitious step CD . Please think about it once.In a soverieng country there
shoulsnpt be a parallel Army which leads to distruction.Thank you

Who shapped the nation's wealth and who are sapping the nations wealth are to be
analysed. We have developed our mind to criticise to other only but not to
analyse critically,
we never think how to industrilised, how to give better
education, how to utilised the competent manpower.
The popular saying in
medical science "your mind does not see what u dont know". we always
think about military training, ethnical conflict, division of society.
We
always talk about isreal singapoor but we dont like to do the things like them.
Israel can supply the food cultivating the food in the desert and we import the
food why?. these are only the examples

Thanks EmGhale, I feel relieved that my views were understood. Yes, there are
just loads of people just ready to criticise the situation. They have forgotten
how the NC and UML time and again failed the country. They forget how the
monarch sapped the nation's wealth without reaching out to the people the way
Thai or any european monarch does. In most countries like Singapore, Israel,
Malaysia or other countries, they have a compulsory military training course for
every citizen and this becomes an option for citizens keen to enrol into the
defense sector. Maybe Nepal should consider establishing one, and I am sure
qualified PLA members together with Nepal Army individuals could co-organise and
facilitate a successful implementation of this idea.

These 5% people who does not want to understand fellow countrymens hardships are
not expected to contribute any thing for the nation. Maoists should not have
given up the war and fight untill these kind of people bow to their feet begging
for their life. This is why I think Nepal needed a real nationalist dictator.

U are such a narrow-minded selfish person MR RAMESH! Don't forget the role of
the Maoists in overthrowing the monarch that had been looting the nation's
wealth and also don't forget that at least with the insurgence of Maoists,
corruption was relooked and salary scale of poor lower cl civil servants was
raised. All these cannot be done by putting two hands together and doing Namaste
and pleading "Please end monarch, please end coruption, please end this and
that..." WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN TO A SOFT ACTION? I agree that some Maoists
did real cruel stuff, I agree that some or most of them are not capable for
joining in the army....But u must understand that a revolution of this magnitude
required support from village or rural people and the only qualification needed
was LOVE FOR NEPAL AND READINESS TO FIGHT FOR THAT CHANGE! I salute those men
and hope they are put in some proper jobs or imilated back to society. The

Why these so called freedom fighter (Reverse) with mist theory inside want to
join Nepali Army ? Its really very serious,they are just brain washed and done
many many crimes and now hidden to save themselves and some are just been
grabbed from villages.We all nepali know how much they done wrong.We want peace
,real peace not peace like Maoist conspiracy.So Madhav if you put these PLA
into NA then other terrorists organization's members also in future compel to
integrate into army.Army serve nation not party.Reminding you that and most
Nepali are not in favour of Maoist Chor , Fatah ,Dakan can say Special terror
group .We don't want them to secure our land better give them good shelter and
education and jobs in other places so that they can enjoy with family rather
than Prachand's conspiracy.
