NA trying to disrupt peace process: Minister Thakur

Kantipur Report

KATHMANDU, June 23 - Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives and Nepali Congress (NC) central committee member Mahanta Thakur Friday accused the Nepali Army (NA) of trying to disrupt the ongoing peace process by issuing political statements.

Criticizing a statement issued by the NA on Thursday in which the army expressed "serious concern" over "misleading" comments by Maoist Chairman Prahcanda about the NA at the Prime Minister's Residence recently, Minister Thakur said, "The NA should not speak out against an individual."

Thakur made the remarks at an interaction programme in the capital on Friday.

"The NA issued the statement on its own after the Defence Ministry refused to issue it," Thakur said, adding this could send a negative message to the Maoists and "disrupt the peace process."

He also said that it was "inappropriate" for the army to issue such statement at a time when the Defence Minister was outside the country.

"The government's reaction will be made public after Prime Minister Koirala, who also holds the Defence Ministry portfolio, returns to the country" Thakur added.

PM Girija Prasad Koirala is currently in Bangkok for medical treatment.

Minister Thakur also said that the "monarchy, which has always conjured up controversies" was no longer needed.

"The NC has already removed all references to the king and monarchy from its statute so there will be no place for king and monarchy in the Constituent Assembly elections," Thakur said.

Issuing a statement on Thursday, the NA said it was "seriously concerned over objectionable comments and allegations" made by Prachanda at the Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar on June 16.

"The Nepali Army is seriously concerned over objectionable comments and allegations from Maoist chairman during the recent special government program organized at an important venue, which was telecast live all over the country and attended by top political leaders," a statement issued Thursday by NA’s Brigadier General Nepal Bhushan Chand, said.

On June 16 Prachanda had said the NA is good for nothing except "murdering people and raping Nepali women". The Maoist chairman also said that the 90000-strong NA should be reduced to 10,000 or 20,000.
