During his meeting with the Chairman of Nepal Workers´ and Peasants´ Party (NWPP) Narayan Man Bijukchhe, the prime minister said the management of the combatants would be accomplished as per the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) and Interim Constitution.
He told Bijukchhe that he will learn the army´s opinion on integration. The army chief yesterday said that the bulk integration of Maoist combatants is not possible.
“Those who meet criteria can be recruited in the Nepal Army,” the prime minister added. He said the Maoist combatants interested to be a part of security agencies can be recruited in army and other security agencies.
Stating that Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala and the Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal had reached an agreement to integrate 3,000 Maoist combatants, the prime minister said the same number of Maoist combatants will be integrated into the army and police.
When asked about the Maoists´ preparation to bring a no-confidence motion against the government, the prime minister said, “It is positive thing to bring a no-confidence motion through a due process. They should be able to show their majority.”
