Nepali Congress acting president Sushil Koirala on Thursday took a swipe at the idea of integrating the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) combatants with the Nepal Army (NA), reports the Himalayan Times.

Speaking at a program organized in Bara district, Koirala said, “They should be adjusted with other security agencies but now with the NA,” adding that his party, in no way would succumb to the proposition of amalgamating the Maoist fighters with the national army.

He also made a point to relate that none of the past agreements implied that the PLA should be incorporated with the NA.

He also jibed at the Maoist leadership for not returning the seized land and property to the rightful owners. nepalnews.com nd Dec 05 08
