A week after chairman of the CPN (Maoist), Prachanda, alleged Nepali Army of doing nothing in the history than killing Nepali people, Nepali Army has expressed ‘serious reservations’ towards the remarks made by the Maoist supreM.
In a statement issued on Thursday, spokesman of the Nepali Army, Brigadier General Nepal Bhusan Chand, said Nepali Army is seriously concerned over what it called objectionable comments and remarks made by the rebel leader “during the recent special government programme at an important venue which was telecast live all over the country and attended by top political leaders.”
“Nepali Army has—behind it—a history of over 225 years old culture of glorious nationalism, protection of territorial integrity and selfless sacrifice for people’s security. Nepal’s history is testimony to the fact that from the past to the present, the NA has always remained committed to protect the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and dignity of the people under the direct command of the prevailing constitutional government,” the statement added.
Addressing a press meet after entering into an eight-point agreement with the top leaders of the ruling Seven Party Alliance in Kathmandu last Friday, Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda had alleged that Nepali Army had done nothing good except “murdering people and raping Nepali women.” The top rebel leader further said since the Nepali Army could not fight with India, China or the US, its strength should be reduced to 10 to 20,000 soldiers.
Sources say the NA top brass were unhappy to note that none of the senior leaders of the SPA refuted serious allegations leveled by the Maoist leader during the press meet.
