Nepal's opposition refuses to integrate more ex- Maoist fighters into army

Kathmandu, Fri, 02 Dec 2011 ANI

Kathmandu, Dec 2(ANI): Nepal's main opposition has turned down Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai's request to allow more former rebels into the army.

 

Nepal politicians had earlier agreed to integrate 6,500 former Maoist fighters into the army.

 

According to analysts, the fate of former Maoist fighters is a major impediment in Nepal's peace process.

 

A Nepali Congress party spokesperson said the opposition refused to relent over the number of former insurgents, who would be allowed to integrate into the army and security forces.

 

Opposition parties said a new constitution for Nepal couldn't be drafted until the process of regrouping former rebels was completed.

 

Nepal's opposition said more insurgents should be allowed to join the army once people who lost land and property to the rebels during the war were given adequate compensation.

 

A protracted stand-off between the two main parties over the issue seems imminent

 

Over 13,000 people were killed in the Maoist's people war before the insurgency ended in 2006.(ANI)
