Minister Nepal says army should be mobilised in seven districts
A senior minister has said that mobilising national army is essential in seven districts in order to ensure election in free and fair manner.
Minister for Education and Sports Pradeep Nepal said that army mobilisation is necessary to hold elections in seven districts lying east of Narayani and west of Kosi river.
Addressing a press meet in Itahari on Wednesday, Minister Nepal said that the government should make a decision by convincing all parties to deploy army in Siraha, Saptari, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Sarlahi, Rautahat and Bara districts where he said 'criminal groups were active to derail the election.'
The minister also claimed that election in all other districts can be held smoothly.
His remarks have come when there has been agreement to keep Nepali Army (NA) in barracks and Maoist army in cantonments till the Constituent Assembly election is held and the peace process reaches its logical end. Maoists have been saying that if NA is to be deployed for election, then their combatants should also be deployed. nepalnews.com Oct 04 07
