CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda

Maoist chairman Prachanda has ruled out the possibility of mobilising army to ensure security during election.

Talking to journalists in Dang, Sunday morning, Prachanda said deployment of army would affect the peace process. He said it would be foolish to even try that move.

He said that the problem of Terai should be resolved politically and added that army deployment could fan the fire of revolt there.

He also stressed on the imperative of holding Constituent Assembly (CA) election.

He said that the Maoists would have to capture power to hold the election if the current government fails to hold it. nepalnews.com sd Feb 03 08
