CPN (UML), which leads the current ruling coalition, has started discussion on the possibility to put up not more than five thousand People's Liberation Army (PLA) combatants for integration into state security forces.
The discussion started following a report, which was submitted by party general secretary Ishwor Pokharel at the UML politburo meeting held at UML headquarters in Balkhu on Sunday, suggested that there is possibility to integrate only five thousand PLA combatants into the security forces.
UML politburo members put forth their views and suggestions on the report and discussed Prime Minister and UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal's recent parleys for extension of Constituent Assembly (CA)'s term, during today's meeting. The discussion is set to continue tomorrow also.
The report which is yet to be made public also states that integration and rehabilitation of PLA combatants should be finished within the next nine weeks.
According to a party source, the report further suggests one year term extension for the Constituent Assembly (CA), compulsory formation of Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Commission for Disappeared and State Restructuring Commission at the earliest.
The report also suggests that the parties should forge agreement on the fundamental principles and features of the new constitution before going for the term extension of CA.
It is learnt that the proposal will be endorsed during the party's upcoming central committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday. nepalnews.com
