Pashupati Shumsher Rana
Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) chairman Pashupati Shumsher Rana has said it won’t be a wrong idea to mobilise the Nepal Army to maintain security in the constituent assembly election.

“It won’t be wrong to deploy the army to ensure security in the election,” Rana said speaking at a programme in the capital Wednesday. He, however, warned that the army should not be sent into Terai to quell the agitations there.

The RPP chief also took the seven-party government to task for worsening security situation in the country.

“The seven-party administration is proving to be ineffective by the day. This casts doubt on the commitment made by the government to hold the election on time,” he said, adding that the actions of government and the Maoists could invite more political confrontation in the coming days. nepalnews.com mk Feb 06 08
